Since the 1990's, researchers, practitioners and public
administrations have given more thought to urban logistics.
However, their interests and goals are not the same, and several
approaches do not produce efficient logistics systems as a result.
This book aims to provide both a conceptual framework for urban
logistics planning and management and to create a basis for
deploying solutions that aim to reduce the main nuisances related
to urban goods. The proposed book is divided in two parts. The
first proposes a set of methodological chapters, written by key
authors, which aim to support decision makers in their current
choices related to urban logistics. In addition to public
authorities' aims and goals, the book highlights the importance of
private actors, and shows how supply chain management can deal with
the problems of the last urban mile and its integration in global
logistics chains. The second presents several applied research
works that deal with current planning and practice issues in urban
logistics, such as the role of city planning, the place of night
deliveries in carrier organization, the limits of logistics
pooling, and the real estate market, among others. The book was
written by key authors, all having considerable research experience
and recognised as experts in their respective fields. Each chapter
presents methods and results of research works, written for a broad
audience, and more precisely directed to both academics and
practitioners.
