Urban freight transport has become an important issue in urban
planning. There are many challenges and problems relating to
increasing levels of traffic congestion, environmental impacts and
energy consumption. City logistics schemes are relatively new
concepts that are aimed at increasing the efficiency of urban
freight transport systems as well as reducing traffic congestion
and impacts on the environment. However, new modelling, evaluation
and planning techniques are required to conduct in-depth
investigations before city logistics measures can be effectively
deployed.
This book, Logistics Systems for Sustainable Cities, is an
outcome of the Third International Conference on City Logistics
(City Logistics III held in Madeira in 2003) organised by the
Institute for City Logistics (www.citylogistics.org). It includes
recent developments in the modelling, evaluation and planning of
city logistics schemes. Since city logistics measures have already
been implemented in several cities, a review of the performance of
these innovative schemes is presented. As well, an overview of the
visions for city logistics and public private partnerships for city
logistics is given. A summary of the OECD report, Delivering the
Goods ??? 21st Century Challenges for Urban Goods Transport, is
included. Recent developments in e-Commerce and e-Logistics are
covered.
The cover shows the beautiful Madeira Island, Portugal where the
Third International Conference on City Logistics was held.
