With demand for industrial space at an all-time high, new approaches are needed to deliver sites in and around cities. Innovative solutions, such as co-location with residential uses, allow valuable industrial capacity to be retained in areas under pressure from competing development.

Key challenges lie in managing the impact of these sites on surrounding road networks. Site locations play a core role and developments have to be taken on a case-by-case basis to achieve the best solution – whether this means using overnight servicing strategies in employment-focused areas, or ensuring employees travel to work by sustainable modes. We address these through bespoke strategies so that developments integrate effectively into their local context.

Efficient logistics hubs

Well-designed logistics hubs can transform the efficiency of distribution. By consolidating deliveries and enabling sustainable last-mile solutions such as electric vehicles and cargo bikes, they reduce congestion, cut emissions and make better use of valuable urban space.

With most freight vehicles in London operating less than half full, the opportunity for change is substantial. Momentum has extensive experience developing freight management and consolidation schemes that unlock capacity, improve utilisation and sustainability, make the most efficient use of our valuable street networks and logistics hubs.
