Smart city technology is paving the way for a new era in logistics. As the transportation manager of a city, I will not invest heavily in driverless vehicles, but focus more on green mobility and automated logistics in restricted locations such as ports. Green transportation is currently the major focus of environmental conservation organizations worldwide. With continual technological developments and expansion, the possibilities appear limitless, and the appeal of this potential exists (Freudendal-Pedersen et al., 2019). Some of these advancements are helping the logistics business expand by supporting environmentally friendly practices and offering efficient transportation. Efforts to preserve the environment can be made feasible by hydrogen, electric, and solar energy-driven transportation systems.
My strategy would aim to promote efficient, non-polluting, and high-quality communal transportation and restore the majority’s usage of roads by supporting non-motorized mobility. Cities and the logistics industry throughout the world are undergoing enormous transformations as they strive to become smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable (Freudendal-Pedersen et al., 2019). My proposal will minimize the number of automobiles on the road and improve freight truck movement, which will assist in maximizing limited resources while making good use of infrastructure.
I would like to live and run my activities in a smart city. Besides technology benefits, living in a smart city would provide advantages such as achieving more while protecting resources, smart mobility, and energy conservation (Freudendal-Pedersen et al., 2019). Additionally, a smart city regulates or drastically reduces atmospheric pollutants that are more prevalent and harm the population’s health. Many of the smart city’s technological advancements that get implemented aims at minimizing carbon footprints and giving environmental benefits. Technology may be fantastic and open avenues that people might not have considered before. Its goal also includes coordinating efforts to reduce harmful pollution emissions.
