Abstract：

The global revolution in digital consumption and logistics has created substantial new demands for optimizing urban logistics systems and supply chain infrastructure. It has generated new challenges for urban management and planning on running urban logistics spaces to achieve urban logistics sustainability. From the perspective of urban planning, this paper first elaborates dynamics of urban logistics activities. These dynamics in logistics location requirements include the extending heterogeneity, dual-structure, co-location, and logistics regionalism generated by logistics sprawl. These locational dynamics make the profitability, dispersion, and efficiency of logistics activities face publicness, scale, and hierarchy challenges. This paper conceptualizes the above three conflicts between objectives and constraints and elaborates why they lead to challenges on urban logistics policy making and implementation. Based on the experiences of urban logistics practices in European countries, this paper summarizes the policy implementation directions of logistics planning in administration, market, space, and social dimensions. Targeting multi-faced sustainability, this paper proposes the scheme of urban sharing logistics and illustrates this scheme in stakeholder, operation process and facilities, which hopes to shed light on enhancing the effectiveness of urban logistics policies.
