LOGISTICS
TOKYO
4.2 People The necessity of last-mile logistics E-commerce has always been characterised by a broad range of product items. When fresh foods and ingredients are added to this array of goods, as well as an increase in the total number of products, there is also a greater variety of products, including refrigerated and frozen foods. When it comes to delivery, this wider range of temperature requirements will mean that the time to collection will have to be further shortened. Even if technology evolves, there are limits to how much the delivery time itself can be reduced. For fresh foods, it will be increasingly important for warehouses to be located close to residential areas. The Tokyo 23 wards and the inner part of the Gaikando area should see their value enhanced due to their suitability as sites for last-mile warehouses.
