We introduce and illustrate Integrated Green EU-Global Transport & Logistics Networks as being brought forward by the PLANET project. With adaptive routing as sample innovative transport concept that uses advanced technologies, we explain how performance enhancement can be attained at the micro level. We then explain how this logistics concept has an impact at the macro level, both in a positive and in a negative way. First, we show how adaptive routing has a positive impact on connectivity - in the context of the PLANET project, we elaborate on an extension of the notion of connectivity. Second, we show that adaptive routing also creates vulnerabilities at the macro level, as it creates dependencies between organizations through the need to communicate intensively.
