The Future of Urban Logistics – Can Collaborative Logistic Concepts Overcome the Operational Challenges of Urbanization?

  • In times of progressive urbanization, cities are increasingly confronted with a series of nega- tive effects. The roads are overcrowded, the environment is polluted, and citizens are deprived of valuable urban space. In addition to the problem, customers are purchasing more and more over the internet and shipments are becoming more fragmented. Consequently, the cityscape is characterized by a large number of delivery vehicles that put a strain on the infrastructure. As this development is taking place, solutions are increasingly being sought to mitigate the negative effects of these trends. These include, in particular, collaborative logistics concepts in which various players come together and develop joint approaches to supplying cities. Hub structures are a promising concept here, which enable a consolidated supply of inner cities. Even though a multitude of such projects have already been initiated, only a few of them have managed to be permanently implemented. City projects often fail due to insufficient funds or poor stakeholder management. The city authorities play a central role in the development and realization of collaborative logistics concepts. They must take on a coordinating role and en- sure that innovative solutions are adequately promoted in order to achieve long-term success and thus mitigate the negative effects of urbanization.
