Future Trends in Sustainable Urban Logistics

Abstract

There is a need to reduce the negative effects caused by load distribution in urban areas as a result of the increase in population and urbanization rate. At this point, it is necessary to eliminate the negativities related to transportation in order to make transportation activities in urban areas sustainable. Recently, the importance of the concept of urban logistics has increased, and approaches that facilitate urban life and logistics actions have become more important. However, logistics service providers have begun to look for ways to respond to consumer demands with fast, reliable, economic, and innovative methods. In order to maintain urban logistics, different methods can be used to deliver products to consumers. The study offers a perspective on technological developments affecting urban logistics and draws attention to sustainable and innovative delivery methods.
