Urban Logistics Hubs
Roundtable Report, Policy Insights,
19 June 2024
- Logistics is more than e-commerce. Urban logistics includes deliveries, distribution, returns, collections and servicing. A wide range of stakeholders with consumer and business demands are involved in the logistics ecosystem. Thinking about improving logistics started in e-commerce and now drives developments in the other segments.
- Shift to sustainable logistics. Logistics is unlikely the most beneficial use of real estate considering sparse urban space. But the absence of sustainably designed and operated urban logistics hubs could lead to more vehicles or more polluting vehicles in cities as no transshipment space is available.
- Strengthen understandings of logistics and hubs. Planning authorities should provide best-practice guidelines and frame policies for logistics and associated hubs without significantly increasing costs for operators and customers. The public sector should govern while the private sector should lead the construction, operation and management of logistics hubs.
