8 Smart city logistics City logistics is becoming a larger focus of Zuidas mobility policy. It encompasses all goods and services that are delivered to offices and residents in the area, such as post and package deliveries, waste transport and office supplies. The ambition to have city logistics fully emission-free in 2025 while improving safety and accessibility can only be achieved if we work together. The motto is: reduce, improve and make more ‘green’. A number of companies and organisations took part in a data survey in 2018 to launch pilot projects in 2019. Catering logistics Deliveries for hotels, cafés and restaurants, which form a large part of city logistics, is growing fast in Zuidas. More restaurants, cafés and bars are being opened while the roads are becoming more congested, causing fast-rising costs for last-mile deliveries. The question is if the current distribution network will be maintainable without any change in the supply chain. Until recently, little attention has been given to the problems this causes for residents, large distributors and suppliers. Food distribution demands extra attention and is more complex than other city logistics due to food safety and the large variation of products delivered. An integral approach consulting with all parties including suppliers, distributors, entrepreneurs and the Municipality of Amsterdam can provide solutions. Restaurant and café owners have a key role in making decisions about the distribution of goods.
