Capehart Scatchard's Alan P. Fox is set to present “E-Commerce, Changes in Transportation and Global Warming,” a CLE seminar, at noon on Sept. 25 at the firm's Mount Laurel, New Jersey, office.
The recent growth in e-commerce, the decline in retail shopping centers, the changes in traffic patterns, global warming and climate change, and the rise in Airbnb will collectively have a direct impact on municipal zoning and require updates to the municipal master plans in New Jersey.
Deliveries by Amazon.com Inc. and travel by Uber Technologies Inc. and Lyft Inc. have already impacted traffic patterns not foreseen by municipal master plans.
The development and implementation of AI, including autonomous vehicles, will revolutionize transportation, and have a direct impact on future development.
The topics will be discussed in relation to future zoning and updating municipal land use plans.
