Sustainable Supply Chain Management in Urban Logistics

Urban logistics is a field that studies the best solutions for urban freight distribution with high environmental objectives. However, most actions are started by public authorities without taking into account the impacts of the new organizational schemas in the existing distribution enterprises’ organization. This chapter proposes a conceptual framework for urban green logistics planning and evaluation, in order to relate urban logistics to green supply chain management, i.e. the public authorities’ perspective to the enterprise’s vision. Therefore, a dashboard is proposed and illustrated, as well as the conceptual framework, via a case study: the urban logistics system Cityporto (Padua, Italy).
