Managing Urban Logistics provides new  insights based on the most recent research, theories, and developments  in technological and ICT solutions, contemporary corporate trends, the  re-evaluation of the role of authorities, and much more. The book shows  how to manage these complex urban logistics issues using a long term,  systemic perspective where urban freight distribution is an integral  part of the entire urban mobility system. It examines the convergence  points between mass and customized deliveries, thus modeling the  decision processes, trade-offs and tolerances behind these processes to  enable a more fluid sharing of urban space.Users will find an approach  that tackles these issues from an empirical viewpoint that is based on  analysis from a wide set of cases in urban environments around the  world. A fresh and unique multidisciplinary approach that is based on  solid theoretical background and a pragmatic management standpoint makes  this book a must have for those involved in urban logistics.
