Urban growth and freight transport: From sprawl to distension

Mathieu Gardrat

Journal of Transport Geography, 2021, vol. 91, issue C

Abstract: This paper aims at discussing the effects of the urban growth on freight mobility through the analysis of urban activities localisation. Thanks to the results of this work, we lay the basics of an original concept that synthetizes logistics sprawl and other localisation dynamics taking into principal consideration the mobility of freight in general: the logistics distension.
