“…'Urban supply chains' -on which this paper focuses -is a term used to identify that part of a supply chain charged with delivering goods to towns/cities (Danielis et al, 2012). Urban supply chain decisions are typically taken based on commercial efficiency, disregarding the wider environmental and social objectives.…”

Purpose-Whilst the importance of a well-functioning urban goods distribution system is widely acknowledged, city authorities have become increasingly aware of the need to minimise the disbenefits associated to the system. There are now many examples of initiatives to increase the eco-efficiency of urban freight deliveries; however, very few have made a notable impact. The success of such schemes often depends upon the response of a range of private sector freight stakeholders and their involvement during the planning process of these solutions is crucial. This paper describes and analyses a case of local freight stakeholder involvement to plan and design ecoefficient city logistics innovations in a small city in Italy. Design/methodology/approach-To engage local freight stakeholders within the planning process of a city logistics project, the Logical Framework Approach, in the form of the Design and Monitoring Framework (DMF) developed by the Asian Development Bank, has been applied. Penultimate working draft. Findings-The structured consultation process implied within the DMF approach allowed urban freight stakeholders to share their aspirations from the beginning of the city freight planning process, despite their differences in priorities in adopting eco-efficient logistics innovations. The process ensured that city stakeholders accepted and committed to the city logistics strategies formulated during the consultation process, namely: changes to the Limited Traffic Zone regulation; the use of an urban consolidation centre; and hybrid electric truck adoption. Research limitations/implications-The evaluation of the DMF application will be definitive after the demonstration/implementation stage of the city logistics project. It will then become clear if freight stakeholders have committed to the project and if it is effective in delivering the expected outputs and outcomes. Practical implications-Local city authorities may find this method useful in situations where a structured consultation process is needed for addressing urban freight issues. This is especially the case in the context of introducing innovative, eco-efficiency solutions. Originality/value-The application of DMF in the developed environment can be considered novel; this paper extends this with an application to the promotion of sustainable urban freight.

“…These would assist at maintaining the movement of goods and avoiding ruptures and stockout (Zinn, 2012). The final result would be an increase in inventories of manufacturers and wholesalers as well as a larger number of road vehicles (Danielis et al, 2013).…”

Urban population growth in developing countries has transformed mobility in large urban centers more dramatic. In this way, the routine of companies and citizens suggest that restrictions of urban mobility seem to affect the traditional business distribution in large cities. Therefore, this research proposes to analyze how the literature has dealt with the impact of deficiencies in urban mobility on logistic capacities. It was possible to verify that the deficiencies of urban mobility have led to economic activities dispersion by the environment, which implies in an increase of small vehicles fleet and, consequently, resulting in the worse in mobility of goods and people in these cities.

“…Une stratégie d'autant plus aisée à conduire, selon lui, que les entreprises du commerce de gros sont souvent des petites structures avec des zones de chalandise assez limitées ; leur avantage compétitif s'analyse en termes de proximité avec la clientèle et de connaissance du terrain : « proches de leur marché, elles apparaissent comme particulièrement indiquées pour l'approvisionnement de la petite clientèle et le traitement des commandes en petits lots » (Dugot, 2000). Par leur riche expérience, les grossistes restent ainsi très présents dans un certain nombre de canaux de distribution ayant un puissant ancrage urbain, au premier rang desquels la commercialisation des produits frais et des produits pharmaceutiques, et la restauration hors foyer ; dans une ville comme Bologne, un tiers des livraisons vers les unités commerciales sont assurées par des grossistes (Danielis et al, 2010).…”

Résumé Les questions relatives à la logistique urbaine occupent désormais une place centrale dans la recherche en management. Longtemps confinée à des approches opérationnelles, notamment en termes d’organisation optimale des transports de marchandises dans des villes saturées, la logistique urbaine retient l’attention des chercheurs et des praticiens à partir de modèles stratégiques originaux, mettant l’accent sur l’importance d’une mutualisation des ressources entre entreprises concurrentes. La mutualisation apparaît essentielle à la fois sur un plan économique et sur un plan écologique, mais pose de redoutables problèmes de coordination pour le pilotage des flux. L’article aborde tout particulièrement la thématique de l’intermédiation en contexte de logistique urbaine en référence aux parties prenantes pouvant s’en charger, au premier rang desquelles figurent les prestataires de services logistiques et les grossistes.
