Urban Logistics Hubs
Urban logistics are fundamental to city life. However, freight transport is responsible
for around half of local air pollutants in cities and generates congestion and other
emissions. Moreover, urban logistics involves more than just e-commerce. Recent trends
in goods distribution, reverse logistics, the emergence of dark kitchens and dark
stores, and growing regulatory demands, have made logistics more complex. The dual
trend of logistics returning to the city and growing demand for larger sub-urban warehouses
must also be considered. This report provides targeted advice to policy makers on
proactive measures to manage the complexities of urban logistics and facilitate the
uptake and success of urban logistics hubs.
