Logistics: A Vector of Transitions
APRC Group, a historic partner of the Afilog Pavilion, is honored to organize one of the most anticipated conferences at the 40th edition of the Transport and Logistics Innovation Week:
“Planning: Sustainable Development, Logistics, and Urban Transitions”
This two-voice conference will feature Franck Boutté, Grand Prix de l’Urbanisme 2022 and Founding President of Franck Boutté Consultants, and Karim Abdellaoui, Founding President of APRC Group.
Franck Boutté is a civil engineer from Ponts et Chaussées and an architect trained at the École de Paris Belleville. A pioneer in environmental engineering, he leads architectural, urban, and territorial projects that address sustainability challenges.
Karim Abdellaoui, ESTP engineer and President of APRC Group, has been spearheading innovation in logistics for over 16 years. As a trailblazer in achieving France’s first BREEAM certification, he champions efficient urban planning that reconciles environmental requirements with the optimization of flows through strategic territorial management. APRC Group actively explores innovative solutions for land-use efficiency and energy performance.
The city is both the problem and the solution. Its functions are being redefined in response to climate and environmental imperatives. Climate, biodiversity, resource efficiency, and reversibility demand urgent action and creative solutions.
How can urban transitions be effectively organized and planned? What strategies can align sobriety, sustainability, profitability, and efficiency?
To address these questions, APRC Group has brought together the expertise of Franck Boutté, a leading advocate for Positive Global Energy Territories, and Karim Abdellaoui, whose agile and forward-thinking company has been innovating responsible and efficient logistics solutions for over 16 years.
The session will be moderated by Razzy Hammadi, Founder of News Tank Cities and Director of the Urban Transitions Management Program at the Léonard de Vinci University Center. Together, they will explore logistics as a key function shaping the present and future of our cities.
