Rail freight terminals are generally centrally located in cities. In order to achieve a sustainable transport system, where most freight is transported by rail rather than by lorry, terminals must be relocated to urban peripheries. This is a conclusion of Sonke Behrends' doctoral thesis. The thesis investigates how urban and long-distance freight impact one another.
