摘要：AbstractLogistics, which support sustained and efficient freight transport in cities, is fundamental for economic development. Logistics has also been singled out to help in improving environmental conditions in cities. A city would therefore need comprehensive logistics planning, covering planning for infrastructure and transportation policies to maximise its impacts and benefits to society.The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework for city logistics planning. First, the paper describes the relationship between logistics and city formation through a historical review. Second, the paper discusses logistics concepts and clarifies the role of logistics infrastructure planning. Finally, three stages of logistics planning (i.e. large-scale logistics facility, road network, and district planning) are described considering the balanced role of the public and private sectors.
