June 6, 2023Freight Case Study by AIANY Committees Included in New London Architecture Report
The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee previously formed a multi-committee task force, working in collaboration with Stantec, to research and author Delivering the Goods, a document that summarizes the impacts and opportunities of urban freight on New York City and includes recommended strategies to counter the burdens that goods movement impose on city communities.
Recently, task force work has been included as a case study in the research paper ‘Industrial & Logistics: Can London Deliver?’ published by New London Architecture (NLA). The NLA report provides an in-depth look at the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in the industrial and logistics sector, with viewpoints from key organizations in the industry.
A full report download is available to NLA members. NLA provides non-members an excerpted PDF preview as well as a descriptive overview and outline.
On June 5, a NLA half-day conference examined key findings in their report. The conference included discussions with representatives from international cities to address case studies from around the world that examine how to integrate industry into the urban fabric and what lessons can be learned.
Transportation and Infrastructure
The AIANY Transportation and Infrastructure Committee focuses on planning, architectural design, technical, and policy issues related to transportation and infrastructure, including systems and civic facilities to accommodate marine, aviation, and land-based transit, as well as energy, water and waste distribution networks. It is the mission of the committee to examine the architecture of, and to advocate for design quality in, transportation and infrastructure projects. We invite all committee members, and those interested in joining the committee, to join us at our monthly meetings on the 4th Thursday of the month at 6pm on Zoom unless noted. We are always looking for enthusiastic participants interested in contributing to the programs or assisting in other ways!
