DHL Resilient Urban Logistics Forum at the ICLEI Resilient Cities 2012 Congress
In conjunction with DHL, this year’s Resilient Cities congress presents a leading forum on Resilient Urban Logistics.

An interactive workshop will be run encouraging active participation from attendees to develop a progressive road map incorporating discussions centered on planning, eco-mobility, climate change, and financing for Resilient Urban Logistics. Later, an evening event will be hosted by DHL and partners as an opportunity for networking and further discussions.
