This is a textbook for students and a resource for managers in the relatively new discipline of city logistics. The chapters are written by a variety of authors from major cities around the
world. The subject deals with freight transportation systems in urban areas. Chapters deal with such issues as urban transportation stakeholders, the public sector, e-commerce, modelling,
evaluating transportation plans, the use of distribution centers, off-hour delivery programs, cooperative programs, and access restrictions and urban regulation. A closing chapter looks at
future directions in the field. Abundant flow charts and tables are included to make the book useful as a classroom text. Bibliographic references are included at the end of each chapter.
