Green logistics infrastructure: strategy concept and the environment planning

The development of the global economy imposes the need for different actors in every society - citizens, companies and institutions to focus on modeling and solving transport problems. But every society, depending on its legal regulations, economic power and cultural identity, responds appropriately to this challenge. Citizens are increasingly aware of the fact that transport systems play a crucial role in their well-being. But at the same time, they are also aware of how to reduce harmful emissions from motor vehicles, especially heavy goods vehicles, and to model green logistics as a template for future infrastructure solutions. Planning that determines larger environmental, political and social systems is also a key idea in the overall agenda of spatial dimensioning of long-term environmental sustainability, embedded in the concept of the so-called “environmental” model of green infrastructure. But green infrastructure model cannot achieve the desired goals unless it is aligned with the overall logistics system in one area. Balancing the objectives of cost-effectiveness and reliability with these overarching development goals can contribute to a better quality of life in the region, improve policy efficiency, mitigate the risk of unintended consequences and position the sector as a model for inclusive development. The need to manage the balance between different modes of transport, to reduce transport costs and improve economic and resource efficiency, while at the same time taking care to improve safety and mitigate the impact of transport on the environment is imperative of “Green logistics”.
