Sustainable People Home-Work Logistics: An Integrated Model of Circular Economy in the Chiampo Valley

Logistics activities, e.g., transportations of goods and people, are responsible for at least one-third of energy consumption and Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. About 70% of them are related to people’s mobility, with millions of cars moving every day. The people home-work logistics represents und...
