Urban Outsourcing Strategies refer to systematic approaches by companies to delegate logistics and supply chain operations within metropolitan areas to external service providers (e.g., 3PLs, last-mile couriers, micro-fulfillment centers). The goal is to leverage specialized partners to reduce infrastructure and labor costs, shorten delivery times, and lower environmental impact in densely populated contexts.
