ABSTRACT
The factors that affect evolution of urban logistics network include external indirect factors such as: Geographical environment, urban nature, land classification and composition, stage of industrialization, urbanization, economic development level, technological progress and innovation and the inner direct factors such as: Logistics demand, logistics supply and logistics enterprises. ased on the analysis of influence and connected relationship for the key nodes and corridor in the network, this study put forward the evolution path which follow the rule from point-point network, corrdior-concentration network, hub-and-spoke network to territory-concentration. the model of the evolution of urban logistics network is built which is able to reflect the growth and degeneration, priority connection rule of the nodes and corrdior, the change of the type conditions. Finally, a case study of sichuan chengdu is done and the results show the effectiveness of the proposed the evolution path and method which can provide theory support of logistics plan planning work.
