Knowledge > Research > Logistics Cities > Infrastructure > Infrastructure InfrastructureOverview Logistics Cities are developed as “city” structures with “suburbs” or “precincts” known as “nodes” consisting of various combinations of Logistics Parks, Intermodal Freight Terminals, Freight Consolidation Hubs, Regional “Feeding” Hubs, and Physical Gateway Ports. These “suburbs” are governed by some form of agency with the objective to "promote and extract” the synergy between the various operational elements within these nodes, towards an efficient integrated Logistics Platform for the region served by the Logistics City. These “agencies’ could be Government Agencies, Regional Development Agencies or even Company Structures. The particular “agency” depends on the overall Government Structures governing the region within which the Logistics City is situated. Research Objective Establish a Logistics City component framework. The objective of this is to identify design patterns in logistics cities and to describe these component parts in a formal and unambiguous way. This establishes the framework on which further qualitative and quantitative and model based work will be based upon.
