“…Average warehouse size has been shown to be increasing in both the UK and the US (McKinnon, 2009;Cidell, 2010) as is the tendency to agglomeration, with companies locating their DCs within large logistics parks (McKinnon, 2009).…”

“…Large, modern logistics and distribution centers tend to concentrate in the large urban areas (Cidell, 2010). Total inventories in the supply chain are reducing by the centralization and direction of the flows through the large logistics systems (McKinnon, 1989(McKinnon, , 2009). On the other hand, centralization of the warehouse systems increases the costs of transport, but this growth is more than compensated by the savings from the centralization of inventories.…”

City logistics aims to increase the efficiency and mitigate the negative effects of logistics processes and activities, and at the same time support the sustainable development of the urban areas. Major European and national research projects, undertaken from the end of the last century onwards, indicate that the state of the urban area logistics is quite critical. The situation requires a comprehensive analysis and active participation of the authorities and companies in order to solve the growing problems and define the sustainable solutions which would encourage the economic development and improve the living conditions in the city. In order to make logistics activities less routine, and thereby more efficient, many initiatives have been launched, especially in the terms of environmental impact and service quality. However, the changes are slow and environmental trends are setting new challenges. The main problem is the lack of planning activities and comprehensive and long term policy of city logistics. Decisions of city planners are often inadequate, without the analysis of existing situation and interaction of city logistics and complex socio-economic system of the city and its surrounding, without research and studies of different measures and impacts on the overall city logistics system. This article presented the current situation and trends in the implementation of logistics chains within the urban areas in order to highlight the complexity of solving the problems of a complex city logistics system.

“…According to (McKinnon, 2009), the centralization of inventory experienced during the past 40 years has increased the vulnerability of supply chains to extreme weather patterns like flooding. Therefore, climate change hazards should be taken into consideration during the design phase of supply chain networks in order to protect them from disruptions and vulnerabilities to both physical and regulatory risks.…”

Abstract:Purpose: The paper aims to provide a general overview of the impacts of climate change upon supply chains and to analyze the implications of climate change for supply chain management in terms of strategic and operational planning. A roadmap of fruitful research approaches is also presented.Design/methodology/approach: The paper makes use of a general review of the relevant literature and, based on a systematic categorization of the findings, looks for useful insights towards the issues of climate change and supply chain management. A framework is drawn for systematically assessing the impacts of climate change upon supply chains and their management, while making suggestions for future research. Practical implications: The paper provides several insights towards the issues of supply chain management in view of climate change and may serve as an initial basis for exploring future research directions by academics. Practitioners, especially those drafting value-creating supply chain agendas, may also find these insights useful for improving their managerial practices. Originality/value: By providing an original structured overview of the impacts of climate change upon supply chain design and operations management the paper substantiates the need for management improvements and provides research directions that may prove valuable to researchers.
