In logistics and freight transport, collaboration and pooling are popular strategies, in practice, that remain less explored in research. In recent years, collaborative transportation and pooling have become urban logistics alternatives to classical urban consolidation centres, but remain in a developmental stage. This chapter proposes a framework for urban logistics pooling, strategic planning and ex-ante evaluation. First, the main concepts of logistics pooling and their applications to urban delivery services are presented. Then, an information systems-based framework for planning and evaluation is described, from which a set of indicators are identified. To illustrate this framework, a case study from a French urban logistics pooling system is proposed.
