Two-echelon distribution systems with an intermediate urban consolidation centre are one of the key innovations proposed in city logistics. We focus on a business-to-business context in which urban retailers are delivered by suppliers via such a city hub. Specifically, we investigate the benefits of simultaneously optimising routing decisions from the Urban Consolidation Center and inventory decisions at the retailers.
