The analysis on the factors of developing zhengzhou city into a regional center of international logistics

Abstract

International logistics centre, being an indispensable node in the process of international logistics, plays an important role in the development of international logistics. The creation of international logistics center involves multiple factors including traffic and geographic factor, infrastructure factor, function factor and environmental factor, etc. Through a thorough analysis, we conclude that the City of Zhengzhou possesses the prime factors of being a center of international logistics. In 2008, the State Council redefined the 10 rejuvenation industries in China. Among them, the logistics industry is the only one of the tertiary industry. Zhengzhou City boasts of the requisite resources to become the international logistics center in central and western parts of China by taking advantage of the preferential external conditions and policies. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
