This paper analyzes schemes for delivering food to urban food outlets, i.e. corporate retail chains,
independent retailers and the hotel, restaurants and catering (Ho.Re.Ca.) sector. We present a case study
of Parma, Italy, where traffic regulations, delivery services and an urban distribution center have been
implemented in order to improve efficiency and reduce the adverse impacts of urban food distribution
within the city. The study depicts the role of public actors in defining policy measures and, in particular,
focuses on the wholesale produce market, which has been revitalized by means of the Food Hub concept
to provide consolidation services as an urban distribution center. Finally, we propose generalization to
place our findings in the wider context of European city logistics studies.
