Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on City Logistics (Madeira,
Portugal, 25-27 June, 2003)

Description
Urban freight transport has become an important issue in urban planning.
There are many challenges and problems relating to increasing levels of
traffic congestion, environmental impacts and energy consumption. City
logistics schemes are relatively new concepts that are aimed at increasing
the efficiency of urban freight transport systems as well as reducing
traffic congestion and impacts on the environment. However, new modelling,
evaluation and planning techniques are required to conduct in-depth
investigations before city logistics measures can be effectively deployed.

This book, Logistics Systems for Sustainable Cities, is an outcome of the
Third International Conference on City Logistics (City Logistics III held in
Madeira in 2003) organised by the Institute for City Logistics
(www.citylogistics.org <mailto:www.citylogistics.org>). It includes recent
developments in the modelling, evaluation and planning of city logistics
schemes. Since city logistics measures have already been implemented in
several cities, a review of the performance of these innovative schemes is
presented. As well, an overview of the visions for city logistics and public
private partnerships for city logistics is given. A summary of the OECD
report, Delivering the Goods ? 21st Century Challenges for Urban Goods
Transport, is included. Recent developments in e-Commerce and e-Logistics
are covered.

The cover shows the beautiful Madeira Island, Portugal where the Third
International Conference on City Logistics was held.

Audience
For researchers and city planners for evaluating City Logistics policies and
measures to help solve urban freight problems
