Bob Farrell, president and chief executive officer of Kewill, has an innovative proposal. He'd like to see the construction of shared logistics centers, occupied by multiple service providers, feeding shipments into retail stores and private homes located deep within urban centers. It's one way to combat the gridlock that can only get worse as cities continue to grow, and consumers demand same-day delivery to the doorstep. Listen to Farrell's idea about how we can combat a problem that gets "worse and worse, day by day." Hosted by Bob Bowman, Managing Editor of SupplyChainBrain.

Look for the next episode of the podcast, which can be downloaded or streamed, every Friday on the SupplyChainBrain website.
