都市地域計画からみた物流政策

―地域・都市・地区レベルの計画論―

抄録

Continuity is essential from the point of production to the point of delivery to the consumer when supplying cities with the commodities necessary for daily life. Historically, the following logistics continuum has been the most common: trunk-line transportation → distribution center → delivery → cargo handling facility. Urban logistics planning is necessary at each spatial level given this logistical chain, from urban area planning related to trunk line transportation and distribution centers to the planning of districts and buildings in urban areas. This paper outlines the historical evolution of planning ideas at the regional, city, and district planning levels, as well as their relationship to logistics policy. The need for a planning theory to support logistics in the future at the regional, city, and district levels will also be examined.
