As in the London research a decade earlier (e.g., Department for Trade and Industry, 2004; Peter Brett Associates, 2007), the results are significant: • nearly 70% fewer transport movements to construction sites (reducing vehicle movements improves road safety as well as reducing pollution (Davies and White 2015), • nearly 70% fewer CO2, NOX and particulate emissions, and • up to 40% higher productivity at the site • fewer complaints from people in the surrounding area (van Amstel and Postulart, 2017) • at least 7% less material losses and damage (Transport for London 2016, p.12) • 3- 5% lower construction costs.	cache/ajceb-7638.pdf	txt/ajceb-7638.txt
