“…The key determinant of transport accessibility is the capacity and structure of transport infrastructure, which stimulates the movement of goods, reduces transit times, improves market access and promotes economic growth [32][33][34]. For logistics enterprises, the transportation of goods is at the core of their business, so accessibility plays a major role in the location decision.…”

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.

“…Wang et al, 2017). Municipal roads provide short-distance travel for delivering goods and services within urban areas (Ng et al, 2017). Urban transport, referring to the means of transport in cities such as bus and urban rail transit, can provide efficient transport systems to reduce energy consumption and mitigate traffic congestion and accidents for urban development (Chen, Bouferguene, et al, 2018;Silva Cruz & Katz-Gerro, 2016).…”

“…The eight categories of public services were identified mainly based on the divisions of infrastructures proposed by Hansen (): social infrastructures and economic infrastructures, which are more concerned with what has been termed “investment in human beings” and are specifically aimed at supporting directly productive activities, respectively. Meanwhile, the eight categories of public services referenced prior studies (Asomani‐Boateng, Fricano, & Adarkwa, ; Bates & Santerre, ; Blok & Nieuwlaar, ; Canto‐Perelloab & Curiel‐Esparza, ; Chen et al, ; Comber, Brunsdon, & Green, ; Davis, Pijanowski, Robinson, & Kidwell, ; de Jong, Joss, Schraven, Zhan, & Weijnen, ; Diaz‐Sarachaga et al, ; Hourie, Malul, & Bar‐El, ; Kagan, Hauerwaas, Holz, & Wedler, ; Liu, Adams, Cote, Geng, & Li, ; Mincer, ; Mohammad, Dom, & Ahmad, ; Nakićenović, Gomez‐Echeverri, Johansson, & Patwardhan, ; Nasibulina, ; Ng, Law, Wong, & Kulanthayan, ; Schulenkorf, ; Silva Cruz & Katz‐Gerro, ; UN‐Habitat, ; Valença, ; Y.

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have been increasingly adopted in China. Sustainability of PPPs has become a priority for a sustainable development of PPPs. Most prior studies focus on sustainable implementation of PPP projects. Few research efforts have been done to examine the impacts of PPPs to sustainability from an external perspective and a more macro geographical scale. Meanwhile, the social aspect of the sustainability of PPPs has not been widely studied. Therefore, this study aims to propose a social sustainability contribution evaluation system (SSCES) for PPPs to evaluate PPPs' contribution to regional social sustainability at the institutional level. An indicator system of the SSCES for PPPs was developed, which included 8 requirements for socially sustainable development and 33 social sustainability indicators. The weights of indicators were determined by using the analytic hierarchy process method. The results indicate that, in the context of China, promoting peopleoriented urbanization in PPPs can help enhance regional social sustainability. This study provides a useful evaluation tool for various stakeholders to evaluate the sustainability of PPPs from an institutional level, especially for local governments to review current PPP polices and make improvements.

“…Using a cross-country analysis of 60 countries for the period 1980-2010, Ng et al [32] compared improvement in mobility (by investment in access-controlled highways, such as motorways and freeways), accessibility (investment in local roads providing more direct links to destination), and economic growth. Their study found that improvement in mobility facilitated export-led growth in countries of medium and high-level development.…”

There can be two broad objectives of transport corridor development: to improve efficiency in the transport and logistics processes in the corridor, and to generate economic development in the corridor region, capitalizing on improved connectivity and transport networks. This paper focuses on the second objective of corridor development. A transport corridor can become a tool for spatially balanced and more sustainable economic development and human well-being in the corridor region. Considering the promise of this approach, this paper undertakes a critical review of transport infrastructure development studies undertaken in Sub-Saharan and South Asian countries to find evidence of infrastructure development impacts. Evidence gathered from the review suggests that transport infrastructure development can have significant positive impacts on economic growth, income, poverty, employment, equity, and inclusion. However, there can be important trade-offs between economy and welfare and environmental quality, and the distribution of impacts can be uneven. The paper also considers how some of the transport corridor development issues are addressed and complementary interventions that may be required, and, finally, discusses lessons learned from the review and their policy implications which can be useful for future corridor designs, and provides suggestions of research studies to fill the current knowledge gaps.
