Why is it important?

We identify the top contributing research topics on city logistics. The most common keywords used in the city logistics literature are referred to in order to propose six research categories identifying the main innovative research perspectives. This classification and the proposed categories will help researchers to properly construct a high-level research on city logistics and discover opportunities and gaps for further research
