Trends and potentials of city logistics concepts in the age of e-commerce from a sustainability perspective
- The ever-growing populations of cities cause the need of solution finding when it comes to urban logistics or city logistics. Customers demand coenient delivery that meets their needs and rising expectations. Especially in case of the steady growth and development of e-commerce, the fragmentation or “atomization” of deliveries is an increasing burden for urban infrastructure. As a result, the traffic in cities suffers from rising parcel deliveries which in turn impairs the sustainability of city logistics in general. Currently, a range of concepts, that targets the solving of city logistics problems, does exist or is developed. This paper aims to display the variety of city logistics concepts.
