This is a topic that hasn't received a lot of focus on this channel, but is critically important to cities: goods logistics! I originally thought this video would have more of a Los Angeles focus, so I actually visited the Port of Los Angeles to get some b-roll clips. I didn't end up using many in the final video, but the sped-up shot of truck traffic at the end is from a GoPro attached to my car.
The Port of Los Angeles is on a scale I had never experienced before, and as I drove in and could see the scope of the operation, I was filled with a sense of awe. So. Many. Containers. It really emphasized the need to understand how parcels get from the port to our front doors.
As always, there is more to say on this topic, and someday I'd like to do a more focused video on some of the areas I only touched on, like planning for industrial areas and how ports shaped cities.
Thanks again for watching and your ongoing support!
