This chapter presents a summary of the research and practical actions in urban logistics. The valorizations of scientific research activities being undertaken in urban logistics are different in nature, and can be grouped coherently through a set of subjects. To this must be added the various research activities which result from collaborations between the scientific and practical communities, notably those taking place around collaborative projects. With urban expansion in the 1950s and the large‐scale construction of roads, coupled with a boom in the automotive sector, a new era of urban logistics arrived on the scene: driven by quasi‐exclusive private stakeholders who were responding to the market. The chapter discusses a few phenomena promoted the development of transport and logistics stakeholders. It also provides a discussion on the difficulties, concerning the apprehension and categorization of urban logistics.
