In the new Logix publication on the future of city centers and city logistics real estate, the authors examine the proactive role of logistics and logistics real estate in the sustainable design of cities and urban areas. The focus is on innovative urban planning approaches for car-free as well as ecologically and socially sustainable city centers. The work will be published in October 2021.<\/p>\n
(Weiterstadt) At the center of the 6th publication of the Logistics Real Estate Initiative (Logix) is the topic of the future of city centers and the prospective role of city logistics real estate in maintaining vibrant city centers. The study highlights the urgent need to address the transformation of city centers in light of growing online commerce, the Corona pandemic, and increasing challenges in transportation and ecology, as well as the potential solutions that logistics and logistics real estate can offer.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Logix publication examines how logistics can contribute convincing approaches in areas such as real estate and urban design through innovative concepts, including traffic design and achieving climate protection goals. Specifically, in addition to analyzing building concepts and configurations such as car-free, green neighborhoods that prioritize people and green outdoor spaces, the repurposing of existing buildings, as well as the topics of digitalization and sustainability, are discussed.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The authors of the publication are Michael Kuchenbecker, authorized signatory and senior consultant at LNC LogisticNetwork Consultants GmbH, Horst Manner-Romberg, managing director of MRU GmbH, and Janine Zimmermann, head of logistics at Drees & Sommer.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDriven by the ongoing growth of e-commerce and the resulting decline in sales in brick-and-mortar retail, many municipalities face the challenge of developing concepts to revitalize their city centers. Here, logistics can and must be considered. The Logix publication will provide food for thought,\u201d explains Horst Manner-Romberg. As a KEP and process expert, he focuses on the interface between business and practice, particularly on the challenges of last-mile design.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBy examining the role of logistics in designing future-proof and attractive city centers, Logix addresses an economically and socially relevant topic. The challenges for urban logistics are enormous and concern us all. We are pleased to contribute to this discussion,\u201d comments Michael Kuchenbecker as an expert in concept development for city supply.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cInnovative concepts in the real estate sector are falling short in the design of the metropolises of the future. Logistics, with its diverse real estate solutions in the form of micro-hubs, integration into mixed-use buildings, and utilization of unattractive existing spaces, has promising ideas,\u201d adds Janine Zimmermann as an expert in real estate concepts and urban planning in the context of logistics.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Dr. Malte-Maria M\u00fcnchow, spokesperson for the Logix Initiative and head of acquisition and sale of special real estate at Deka Immobilien Investment GmbH, comments on the new study project: \u201cThere is currently no comprehensive overview of the various issues and solutions in city logistics in this form. At the same time, this topic is one of the most pressing for both municipalities and logistics to ensure supply, especially in urban areas. By presenting the current state and future-oriented solutions, the authors of the Logix study make an important contribution to the dialogue among all stakeholders.\u201d The publication is set to be released in October 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to awarding the Logix Award, which will be presented once again in 2021 at Expo Real in Munich, the initiation of studies and publications is one of the main areas of action for Logix. In its work, the initiative addresses the importance of logistics real estate as well as accompanying topics such as space scarcity, workforce availability, municipal dialogue, and climate protection.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Photo: \u00a9 Logix <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the new Logix publication on the future of city centers and city logistics real estate, the authors examine the proactive role of logistics and logistics [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1557,1560,1561],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27005","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-forwarding-logistics","category-intralogistics","category-regions"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nChallenge: Revitalization of City Centers<\/span><\/b><\/h5>\n
