  • Productivity issues during lockdown
  • Contactless delivery
  • Robot delivery
  • City plannings failing to integrate logistics into future plans
  • Deliveries not transitioning from vans to cargo bikes
  • Urban and suburban warehouses
  • Urban hubs and local regulations

  • Precarious workers prepared to work in gig economy
  • Speed of delivery and resulting increase in emissions
  • Future protections of gig economy delivery workers
