The City as a Switch: Architecting IoT Logistics for the Post-Congestion Urban Era
The traditional model of urban delivery—reliant on high-emission diesel vans navigating static street grids—is creating unsustainable levels of congestion and pollution in global metros. To reclaim urban space, cities are transitioning to IoT-orchestrated logistics. This data-driven framework utilizes autonomous delivery swarms, automated micro-fulfillment centers, and dynamic digital kerb-side management to route goods with the efficiency of internet packets, transforming static streets into fl
