The on-time delivery of goods is regarded as a primary factor of the urban economy and is being monitored by businesses and government alike. However, much analysis of freight transportation and the flow of goods into, out of and within urban areas focuses on functional, business-related approaches.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. Avoiding certain one-dime...

Containerization in Maritime Transport
by Ryszard K. Miler, Eugeniusz Gostomski, and Tomasz Nowosielski
Containerization provides optimization of handling processes in terms of intermodality and efficient cargo handling, and maritime transport, in particular, it provides further optimization of shipping processes in terms of volume and distance. Containerization has become the most significant factor stimulating the development of modern global trade. Taking the progress of globalization into account (longer distances and increasing cargo volumes), cargo becomes predestined to be transported by se...

The Kennet & Avon Canal, flowing through some of the most attractive areas of England, can lay claim to being one of Britain's most picturesque waterways. It is little wonder that the huge crowd that thronged the locksides at Devizes for the canal's re-opening in August 1990 by Her Majesty the Queen saw it as an occasion for a grand celebration. That happy culmination of many years of rejuvenation was possible at all was entirely due to the volunteers of the Kennet & Avon Canal Trust, a voluntar...
