To increase the adoption of Alkali activated materials concrete for civil applications such as pavements, it is fundamental to analyze the existing literature to clarify the link between environmental and mechanical performance, identifying opportunities for applications that are tailored to the local availability of raw material, reducing transport environmental costs.

This study explores how has EV adoption increased over the past years and predicts how will the EV market continue to expand and penetrate in the future years using a case study with regional granular travel survey data.

As e-retailers compete with increasingly consumer-focused service, urban freight witnesses a significant increase in associated distribution costs and negative externalities including greenhouse gas emissions advancing global climate change, as well as criteria pollutant emissions worsening local air quality and thus affecting those living close to logistics clusters. Thus, the author considers the potential of e-commerce to render economically viable, environmentally efficient, and socially equitable urban goods flow, which is pertinent to understand the opportunities and challenges associated with urban freight in light of the increasingly consumer-focused e-commerce distribution.

This policy brief examines findings of a study on driving impacts and policy approaches for affordable housing in Transit-Oriented Developments.
