Lorries are visually very intrusive, noisy, polluting and responsible for much of the impetus behind road building strategies. They are the most visible component of a Freight transport, logistics and sustainable development relatively new and sophisticated production and distribution system that has evolved in a way that weakens local production and consumption links andFreight transport, logistics and sustainable development

Such an awareness can reveal the beginnings of a new strategy that will move freight transport operations in the dire Freight transport, logistics and sustainable developmentction of sustainable development.

Rail has a much larger part to play, for example, in resolving freight capacity problems across the Pennines and in bringing urgent relief to the residents along the route of the A36 (Sout Freight transport, logistics and sustainable developmenthampton to Bristol).Freight transport strategies have to be alive to a number of influences.

This will require careful negotiation with interested parties and careful management of all transport modes and all possibilities for local sourcing. Freight transport strategies Freight transport, logistics and sustainable development must reflect the importance of environmental and sustainable development objectives.

A prerequisite for a successful strategy in this area is an analysis of the demand for freight transport, the main components of the market and the steps that can b Freight transport, logistics and sustainable developmente taken to move towards a new set of arrangements.

This point has been summarised by Meadows. Meadows and Randers (1992):A sustainable society would be Freight transport, logistics and sustainable developmentinterested in qualitative development, not physical expansion. It would use material growth as a considered tool, not as a perpetual mandate. It wouldFreight transport, logistics and sustainable development
be neither for nor against growth, rather It would begin to discriminate kinds of growth and purposes for growth.
