Logistics Systems for Sustainable Cities
Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on City Logistics (Madeira, Portugal, 25-27 June, 2003)
Edited By:
Eiichi Taniguchi, Kyoto University and R G Thompson, The University of Melbourne
Description
Urban freight transport has become an important issue in urban planning.
There are many challenges and problems relating to increasing levels of
traffic congestion, environmental impacts and energy consumption. City
logistics schemes are relatively new concepts that are aimed at increasing
the efficiency of urban freight transport systems as well as reducing
traffic congestion and impacts on the environment. However, new modelling,
evaluation and planning techniques are required to conduct in-depth
investigations before city logistics measures can be effectively deployed.This book, Logistics Systems for Sustainable Cities, is an outcome of the
mailto:www.citylogistics.org).
Third International Conference on City Logistics (City Logistics III held in
Madeira in 2003) organised by the Institute for City Logistics
(www.citylogistics.org
It includes recent developments in the modelling, evaluation and planning
of city logistics schemes. Since city logistics measures have already
been implemented in several cities, a review of the performance of these
innovative schemes is presented. As well, an overview of the visions for
city logistics and public private partnerships for city logistics is given.
A summary of the OECD report, Delivering the Goods: 21st Century
Challenges for Urban Goods Transport, is included. Recent developments
in e-Commerce and e-Logistics are covered.The cover shows the beautiful Madeira Island, Portugal where the Third
International Conference on City Logistics was held.Audience
For researchers and city planners for evaluating City Logistics policies and
measures to help solve urban freight problemsContents
