Global Media Systems
Media
Year introduced
Impact
Newspapers
1630s
Emerged with the printing press and movable types (17th century). Many
specializations (general and financial).
Newswire (news
agencies)
1835
Provide news to the media (Reuters, Bloomberg, Associated Press, Agence
France Presse).
Magazines
1880
Periodicals (weekly, monthly) focusing on specific topics (events, politics,
people, fashion, technology).
Movies
1910
“Theatre for the masses”. Quick and low cost diffusion of entertainment.
Current news (pre shows).
Radio
1920
Media access to the private home. First radio shows: to sell radios and
consumer goods (“soap operas”). Rapid diffusion of news / portable.
Television / cable
1945 / 1980
Visual access to the private home. Richer content. Specialization of
channels (cable).
Internet
1990
Global digital information exchange. Media rich environment. Led to video
streaming (1995) and video on demand (1998).
Mobile phone /
Smartphone

City Logistics: Consumer-Related Distribution
Independent Retailing
• Small scale retailing activities. High frequency of deliveries (3 to 10 times per week). Use of ownaccount delivery vehicles; mostly small to medium sized. Limited freight reception facilities (the street
as the delivery platform).
Chain Retailing
• Large stores and shopping centers. Provision of parking space and loading bays. Consolidated deliveries
(large trucks). Reliance of third-party logistics services providers (urban distribution and outsourcing).
Food Deliveries
• Specialized supply chains with goods that are often perishable. Cold chain logistics; used heavily by fast
food chains. Outdoor (central) markets (mostly in developing countries).
Parcels and Home Deliveries
• Specialized parcel companies also involved in home deliveries. Large freight integrators (consolidation
and deconsolidation of shipments) with a network of distribution centers. Fleet of delivery vehicles
(small and medium-sized).

City Logistics: Producer Related Distribution
Construction Sites
• Construction and renewal of urban infrastructure. Different suppliers
according to the construction phase. Large volumes and heavy trucks.
Waste Collection and Disposal
• Collection and disposal of wastes generated by daily urban activities.
Reverse logistics and recycling.
Industrial and Terminal Haulage
• Convergence towards transport terminals (ports, airports, railyards),
industrial and logistics zones. Significant transit traffic for gateway cities.

Key Issues in Urban Freight Transportation
Issue
Challenge
Growing freight volumes
Capacity of urban freight transport systems (congestion).
Lower driving speeds and frequent disruptions (reliability).
Passengers / freight interferences (conflicts).
Distribution sprawl (space consumption).
Nature of freight distribution
Smaller volumes and time-sensitive freight (frequency and repetitiveness).
Cold chain (shipment integrity).
E-commerce (home deliveries).
Environmental issues
Mitigate environmental externalities (emissions, noise).
Growing demand for reverse logistic flows (waste and recycling).
Policy and Regulations
Competition and conflicts (access and zoning).
Access (allowable vehicles, streets and time windows).
Zoning (land use, freight distribution clusters, urban consolidation platforms).

Mitigation Strategies: Rationalization of Deliveries
Night deliveries
• Less congestion and faster deliveries. No conflicts with commuting.
• Organization of labor and work shifts. Potential community disruptions
(e.g. noise).
Extended delivery windows
• More delivery options (e.g. weekend) and fewer impacts during peak
hours.
• Organization of labor and work shifts.
Cooperative deliveries
• Better utilization of assets (consolidation).
• Synchronizing delivery times and loads among different consignees.

published, in whole or in part, in ANY form (printed or electronic) and on any media without consent. This includes conference presentations. Permission MUST be requested prior to use.
Mitigation Strategies: Freight Facilities
Urban freight distribution centers
• Better usage of delivery assets. Less congestion.
• Additional costs and potential delays due to consolidation. May not well
service consignee delivery requirements (e.g. time).
Local freight stations
• Less delivery parking. A single consolidation / deconsolidation location.
• Deliveries from freight station to consignee. Management costs for the
freight station.
Designated delivery parking areas
• Better access to consignees. Less disruptive deliveries.
• Less parking space for passenger vehicles.

published, in whole or in part, in ANY form (printed or electronic) and on any media without consent. This includes conference presentations. Permission MUST be requested prior to use.
Mitigation Strategies: Modal Adaptation
Adapted vehicles
• Less impact on local congestion. Easier to find a parking spot. Environmentally friendly
vehicles.
• More journeys for shipments larger than the load unit. Additional consolidation and
deconsolidation costs.
Alternative modes
• Better access to congested areas. Environmentally friendly modes.
• Load / load unit matching. Additional consolidation and deconsolidation costs.
Adapted public transit
• Availability of existing infrastructure (e.g. light rail). Usage of off-peak hours.
• Additional load breaks. Network structure not matching demand structure.

Impacts of Urban Planning Strategies on City Logistics
Higher densities
• Concentration of the freight demand. Parking issues for deliveries.
Mixed land uses
• Complexity of deliveries. Potential conflicts with nearby land uses for freight activities
(access, parking).
Promotion of public transit, walking and cycling
• Parking availability and curb access. Restriction for deliveries in neighborhoods due to
the safety concerns. Increase in home deliveries.
Brownfield developments
• Conflicts with existing freight activities.

Typology of Global City Logistics
Metropolitan areas of developed economies
• Chain retailing resulting in more optimized urban deliveries. Availability of suburban land generating
patterns of logistics sprawl. E-commerce and services.
Metropolitan areas of emerging economies
• Many independent stores and street based businesses requiring specific patterns of deliveries. Dual
transport and logistics system. Land generally available but supporting infrastructure often lacking.
Gateway cities
• Numerous drayage operations from port (airport, intermodal terminals) to region’s DCs. Prevalence of
freight in urban land use (terminals, DCs).
Medium-sized cities in developed economies
• Same than metropolitan areas. Case specific such as access to a congested central area.
