Abstract

In this paper we propose a critical analysis of the development of urban logistic spaces in southwest Europe. We focus on Urban Consolidation Centres (UCC) orienting the study towards an analysis of the cooperation strategies set up to ensure the financial stability of these infrastructures. First, an overview on the main urban logistics platforms is proposed. Second, a state-of-the-art of UCCs in southern Europe is presented. Then, a rapid overview on EU funding project is also proposed. After that, an analysis of the main organizational models for UCCs is made. Finally, a discussion of the analysis is made to identify the key factors of success in the development of UCCs.
