This chapter presents a summary of the different approaches to the sustainability of urban logistics. It then discusses components of sustainable urban logistics. The chapter further describes visions for sustainable urban logistics. To those visions of sustainability, it is important to add the notion of dynamics. A system will not be sustainable if it is static: it therefore must be flexible, reliable and evolving, i.e. a long‐term, comprehensive, complex and collaborative systemic approach. The theme of urban logistics is linked to engineering and transport economics, the flows that are generally put forward are those related to the transport of products. The chapter proposes to divide the physical flows of urban logistics into four categories, three related to freight transport (and so‐called external logistics) and a fourth dedicated to internal logistics: inter‐establishment flows; end‐consumer movements; urban management flows; and internal or intraorganization flows.
