Depending on developments in the health crisis, this event may be available as a webcast. 

   
   
   
   

The A-Side

Logistics and retail in cities


Just like good old vinyl records, our newsletters now have two sides: the A-Side provides a choice of articles revolving around a central theme that is changing the way we design, build and operate cities and infrastructure — and the B-Side provides suggestions for further reading on the same topic. 


This month, we look at logistics and retail in cities. 

   
   

Analysis

Smart construction’s heyday? 

On the one hand, digital technology is enhancing building design, construction and operation. On the other hand, the urban areas where new buildings are appearing are extremely complex and cluttered. This article is about the art of organising a worksite, and how it is being reinvented.

     

Trends

Three future outlooks for city logistics

Urban concentration and the rapid expansion of e-commerce are reshaping city-centre logistics. The scenarios going forward range from logistics anarchy due to laisser-faire regulation, to cities taking back legal and financial power, and on to GAFA taking over entirely. The city of the future will be somewhere between all of the above.

     

Market

“We are aiming to recreate local logistics”

Agenda

As the Coronavirus pandemic continues to spread and efforts to curb it are being stepped up across the board, Leonard and Leonard:Paris residents have decided to cancel all events in our buildings until the end of March. We may take further measures regarding events scheduled after that and will keep you informed.
