Sketch planning tool for sustainable and resilient urban goods distribution

The urban goods distribution system is a critical component of modern society. However, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed significant vulnerabilities in this system, as it struggled to cope with an unforeseen surge in demand. This crisis highlighted the urgent necessity of developing a resilient and sustainable urban goods distribution system capable of efficiently recovering from high-severity disruptions. To address this challenge, our research team previously developed a novel analytical model, the Robustness, Redundancy, Resourcefulness, and Rapidity - Last-Mile Distribution - Resilience Triangle (R4-LMD-RT) framework. In line with the previous work, this work aims to create a sketch-planning tool tailored for local jurisdictions, based on the R4-LMD-RT model. This tool assists in the strategic planning of urban goods distribution systems, identifying land use requirements and proposing sustainable and resilient strategies, such as urban consolidation, micro-hubs, alternative delivery p...城市货物配送系统是现代社会的关键组成部分。然而，新冠疫情（COVID-19）暴露出该系统存在显著脆弱性，其难以应对突发的需求激增。此次危机凸显了构建兼具韧性与可持续性、可从高强度中断事件中高效恢复的城市货物配送系统的迫切需求。为应对这一挑战，本研究团队此前开发了一款全新的分析框架——稳健性、冗余性、应变性与快速性——末端配送——韧性三角（Robustness, Redundancy, Resourcefulness, and Rapidity - Last-Mile Distribution - Resilience Triangle，简称R4-LMD-RT）分析框架。基于此前的研究基础，本研究旨在依托R4-LMD-RT框架，开发一款面向地方行政当局的定制化草图规划工具。该工具可辅助开展城市货物配送系统的战略规划，明确土地使用需求，并提出兼具可持续性与韧性的应对策略，例如城市配送整合、微型配送枢纽、替代配送方案（原文内容未完整呈现）。
