Abstract
The acceleration of economic globalization and integration has led to a dramatic increase in the flow of goods worldwide and changes in the spatial location of logistics facilities. The location of logistics facilities affects not only the cost and efficiency of cargo transportation activities, but also the rational allocation of logistics resources. Recently, the two major perspectives of logistics space research—cluster (the concentration of logistics facilities and functions in geography) and sprawl (movement of facilities from the urban core to peripheral places) have received extensive attention from academia and policy makers. The evolution of logistics space is influenced by land prices, traffic accessibility, market demand, agglomeration advantages and government policies. The purpose of this study is to present a literature review of logistics space, including data sources, research methods as well as research theories, and to study the impact of logistics space from the perspective of sustainable development. The research results provide some reference for logistics space researchers and logistics facility planners, and play a role in formulating new logistics development strategies and promoting the sustainable development of logistics.
Highlights
Under the background of economic globalization and regional economic integration, increasingly products are circulating, producing, selling and consuming around the world
Logistics space is a kind of industrial space, which refers to the projection of urban logistics activities in the geographical space [1]
We have found that research on logistics space is mainly concentrated in densely populated regions, and that these regions have perfect transportation infrastructure, proximity to ports and airports, and dense multimodal transport networks, which provide a good environment for the development of logistics
Summary
Under the background of economic globalization and regional economic integration, increasingly products are circulating, producing, selling and consuming around the world. As the new engine of economic growth, plays a core role in overcoming the constraints of time-space between producers and the markets they serve. Industrial space refers to the economic phenomenon in which a certain industry combines spatial distribution and industry within a country or region. Logistics space is a kind of industrial space, which refers to the projection of urban logistics activities (professional markets, logistics companies, logistics nodes, logistics infrastructure) in the geographical space [1]. This has intensified the increasingly prominent contradiction of urban land use, and on the other hand caused the waste of logistics resources
