B-Side Logistics and retail
| |
Just like a good old vinyl record, our newsletters now have two sides.
The A-side brings together articles that analyse a major transformative trend in the way cities and infrastructure are designed, built and operated. The B-side offers the best reads to delve deeper into that theme.
This month, we explore the question of logistics and retail in urban areas.

| |
