Freight transport is essential to modern urban civilization. No
urban area could exist without a reliable freight transport system.
Although the private sector is responsible for much of this system,
the public sector has a vital role to play in the provision of
infrastructure and the establishment of a social and legal
framework within which transport can occur. For these reasons,
goods movement deserves and is increasingly receiving, explicit
consideration in urban transport policy and planning. Many cities
around the world have conducted studies aimed at resolving urban
goods movement problems and a considerable, if disparate, body of
research results are available. This book brings together much of
this knowledge and experience in a comprehensive source of
information on urban freight, particularly from a public policy or
planning viewpoint. It provides both a conceptual basis for urban
goods movement analysis and detailed, practical guidelines which
may be used directly by those responsible for urban freight policy
and planning. The author has worked for over twenty years in this
field and he draws upon his experience in Australia, the United
States, Great Britain, Canada and The Philippines to produce a book
which is international in scope and perspective. The book is
written for practising professionals, such as engineers, economists
and planners, working in local government, urban transport planning
agencies, highway authorities, consultancies, or research
institutes; it is also relevant to graduate courses in transport
planning, traffic engineering or urban policy. It is of interest to
all who have a concern for contemporary issues in urban
development.
