Urban logistics has been a topic of interest for researchers and practitioners for more than 40 years, but it remains difficult to address due to a lack of unification in the proposed definitions and methods.
This book provides a logical, practical and unified vision of the planning of sustainable urban logistics: a vision which has already gained an increasing international following. Starting with a history of urban logistics in France and around the world, as well as the main actions in urban logistics and the contribution of the different scientific communities, the author presents the basics of sustainable urban logistics in a broader, multi-stakeholder vision.
Issues of evaluation, planning and scenario assessment based on a vision of the analysis of change are also addressed. The book proposes a set of methods for estimating urban logistics flows based on international standards, as well as methods for evaluating sustainable urban logistics, together with examples of real-world applications.
