How are you suppose to move goods around if you have no roads? On bike?, on foot?, by rail? Biking and on foot would be impractical for large items or many items, and if we used rail it would have to be all over the city, so your back to the same problem with roads but instead of cars and roads its trains and rail.

Design in distribution systems that are separate to human systems. There are plenty of ways you could do that from the superblock Barcelona style system to, if we're designing from scratch, hyperloop tunnels or similar sci-fi approaches.

Cargo bikes? Something like an Urban Arrow Tender [1] can transport up to 350 kg. How often do you need something heavier?
