Abstract
The world is experiencing the issues of negatives impacts of delivering and collection of goods in urban areas as urban freight distribution is rapidly increasing over the recent years. Although urban goods distribution is essentially contributed to the economic and social development, the seemingly unsustainable impacts of urban freight transport result in an extensive research for a more sustainable urban freight distribution strategy. Numerous innovative solutions have been proposed and implemented both successes and failures. The objective of the paper is to review the current measures or initiatives implemented in urban freight distribution. The major measures or initiatives implemented will be presented. The case study of urban freight distribution in the City of Adelaide, South Australia will be introduced with some preliminary observations. In conclusion, the lesson learned from previous studies and some successful factors that need to be taken into consideration for future implementation will be discussed.
