Abstract

Logistics factors determine types of Logistics Centers and their architectural solutions. Globalisation, rapid growth of trade and ecology change modern Logistics Centers, complicating their structure, requirements, interactions with big cities, and diversifying their functions. Such logistics factors as means of transport, kinds of goods, roadways can’t be ignored in conditions of modern overloaded and polluted big cities

Introduction

One of the primary tasks of the Transport Strategy of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation is stated in the following way: development of large transport hubs, logistics and distribution centers at the interface between different means of transport.

Revision of the existing system is needed with due regard to its historic development and current tendencies for traffic adaptation and urban environment improvement
