Abstract (EN): City distribution plays a key role in supporting urban lifestyles, helping to serve and retain industrial and trading activities, and contributing to the competitiveness of regional industry. Despite the positive effects city distribution has, it also generates negative (economic, environmental and social) impacts on cities worldwide. However, relatively little attention has been paid to urban goods distribution by researchers and policy makers until recently. The analyses found in City Distribution and Urban Freight Transport aim to improve knowledge in this important area by recognizing and evaluating the problems within the urban freight transport system.
