Logistics are central to contemporary urbanism. Looking at a city from the perspective of its systems rather than its form delineates a new framework for urbanism. This book undertakes an analysis of three major enterprises that heavily rely on sophisticated logistics: Amazon, FedEx, Ryan Air; and subsequently shows their impact on urbanism.
