This research explores the effects that urbanization has on the performance of a fast-moving consumer goods distribution network. A focus is set on changes in distribution cost, the cost-minimal network design, and greenhouse gas emissions. Design/methodology/approach The analyses are based on a quantitative distribution network model of an existing manufacturer of consumer goods. Findings The results indicate that the foreseen population shift will affect the network's economic and environmental performance. Effects are, among others, due to differences in the efficiency of supplying urban and nonurban regions. The combined effects of urbanization and the development of the population size will even more affect the network's performance. Originality/value Research dealing with distribution logistics and urbanization primarily focuses on city logistics. In this paper, the object of analysis is the entire distribution system. 2023-03-08T03:56:10Z 2023-03-08T03:56:10Z 2021 Article 2515-964X https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/JABES-12-2019-0127/full/html http://scholar.dlu.edu.vn/thuvienso/handle/DLU123456789/115443 10.1108/JABES-12-2019-0127 en Journal of Asian Business and Economic Studies, Volume 28, Issue 2; p. 101-120 application/pdf University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City
