The Game Where You Get Pregnant

AN ALTERNATIVE FOR URBAN TRANSPORT OF GOODS


Our cities are excellent spaces for production and exchange of goods and services. The life of the urban system depends on trade and particularly the offer of trade and work which offers the same system. Every day (working) roads, highways and ring roads are crossed by flows of people and goods immeasurable. In addition to thinking about alternative solutions for the transportation of persons, you should consider the possibility to innovate the system of transport of goods within the urban centers, especially in cities with a large and extensive historical center, like the European ones.
Problems that poor management of the flow of goods and vehicles generate are easily assessable. These are: traffic congestion and air pollution and noise.
Our historic town centers, characterized by narrow streets and a large polarization of commercial, residential buildings and monuments, attract huge flows of people, property and cash. Every day will be delivered in increasingly parcels of all sizes, especially after the establishment of methods of supply just in time and purchases on the Internet.
The problem is felt by governments throughout Europe and the many good practices are spreading. Some of the solutions adopted up to now have proved inconclusive, however, for the most part (as the ZTL, and restricted time slots for loading and unloading of goods) others are spreading hardly for their innovative and experimental.
For a more comprehensive reading of the topic refer to the report published on the website of " Central Committee roster of drivers " which deals with causes and examples of clever policies in place in many Italian towns and Europe.
