[en] The paper explores the implications that result from rising online shopping and the related patterns of distribution in European cities. The particular consequences of new modes of logistics distribution for cities and for urban planning are being discussed. While the paper is cautious against the assumption of an exploding freight transport resulting from online-shopping behaviour (it yet seems to be moderate so far), the paper calls for a more comprehensive awareness for the overall imprint of logistics changes in urban regions. Respective concepts for urban and transport planning are needed, in order to make cities and their distribution patterns more sustainable.
