'This Handbook is impressive, extensive, and very current. There are many themes that challenge us today, centred on decarbonisation, supply chain constraints and institutional reform, to make us rethink how we might better embed urban freight into the changing fabric of our cities. The contributions to city logistics as seen as a multi-governance structure together with the latest developments in methods through digital twins to focus as much on short-term operational issues in contrast to the longer-term planning and policy issues is impressive.'
