今天，大约54%的世界人口生活在城市地区。到2050年，这一比例预计将大幅上升。因此，城市物流是确保城市持续生活质量的关键，其重点是在城市地区高效和有效地运输货物，同时考虑到对拥堵、安全和环境的负面影响。我们回顾和讨论了城市物流当前和预期的各种挑战和机遇。我们希望这有助于形成适当的研究议程，并刺激更多的研究人员进入这个令人兴奋的领域。
Today, around 54% of the world's population lives in urban areas. By 2050, this share is expected to go up significantly. As a result, city logistics, which focuses on the efficient and effective transportation of goods in urban areas while taking into account the negative effects on congestion, safety, and environment, is critical to ensuring continued quality of life in cities. We review and discuss a variety of current and anticipated challenges and opportunities of city logistics. We hope this helps shaping an appropriate research agenda and stimulates more researchers to enter this exciting field.
