This paper addresses the critical challenges and optimization strategies in urban freight logistics and supply chain resilience within rapidly expanding metropolitan areas. As global trade dynamics shift and urbanization reaches unprecedented levels, traditional centralized transport models fail to mitigate traffic congestion, rising carbon emissions, and last-mile inefficiencies. This study introduces an integrated framework utilizing smart monitoring tools, dynamic routing mechanisms, and localized micro-fulfillment centers to optimize urban distribution. By analyzing fleet operations in high-density urban corridors, we demonstrate that a decentralized logistics node system reduces total travel distances and significantly improves delivery time predictability. The findings provide actionable insights for urban planners and logistics dispatchers navigating modern high-congestion networks.
