Nagarlok: Quarterly Journal of Urban AffairsSummary: Goods movement is increasingly becoming recognised as an integral component of urban transport planning. The ability to transport goods quickly, safely, economically and reliably is seen as vital to a nation’s prosperity and capacity to compete in a globalising economy. The movement of goods within urban areas is vital since cities are at the centre of economic and social life. As cities are now facing global competition for investment and trade, an efficient transport system is necessary for their sustained economic prosperity. Freight movement in the cities often puts considerable strain on urban transport infrastructure and imposes high social costs. The objectives of logistics planning in particular are to enable goods movement at desired levels of efficiency. Stakeholders’ participation is extremely important to arrive at a sustainable freight strategy which benefits the community at large. This paper attempts to describe an urban logistics ecosystem and its function and various concepts, methods and approaches of stakeholders’ engagement in urban freight including global best practices.- Reproduced
