Markus Hesse

The City as a Terminal (eBook, ePUB)

The Urban Context of Logistics and Freight Transport

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the interrelationship between logistics development on one hand and urban development and geographical issues, such as land use and location, on the other. It also bridges the gap between recent geographical research into new production systems and (post)modern consumption patterns. Illustrated with international case studies, it argues that modern logistics are fundamentally shaping the function and the character of urban places, particularly since logistics networks are increasingly being established distant and independent from cities.
