Supply Chains and Urban Logistics Platforms

This chapter introduces the stakes of urban goods transport integration in city development, through a supply chain and platforms approach. The urban logistics subject is analysed both from the public and private sector point of view. By identifying the structure of present and hypothetical future demand in terms of urban goods movements, various types of logistics platform are suggested as possible solutions for the improvement of goods distribution within urban areas. The chapter ends with recommendations on new forms of organizations, technologies and governance.
