Volume 8 is a further contribution to the fundamentals and structures of freight villages in Germany (Europe). The background to this is the perception that the topic of freight village centres continues to attract a great deal of interest and is repeatedly taken up by different "stakeholders".

By reflecting on the content of the last 40 years, Volume 8 has created a picture that illustrates the complexity of the macrological system of freight villages. The result is a kind of compendium that can provide helpful orientation on the subject of freight transport centres for many interested parties in the coming years.
