Abstract  As an important carrier of material flow between enterprises,the modern logistics industry,through the construction of transportation infrastructure and the continuous innovation of information and communication technology,provides the impetus and channel for the formation,development,operation,and evolution of global production networks,while the traditional spatial hierarchy is gradually reconstructed. Based on this background,this paper will integrate the theories of "space of flows" and "scale reconstruction",summarize the theoretical and practical studies on the spatial distribution of logistics industry,to explore how the logistics industry as "space of flows" forms and affects the traditional spatial hierarchy. The article first summarizes the core ideas of "space of flows" theory and "scale reconstruction" theory and explores the possibility of their integration,and then sorts out the three development forms of logistics industry,namely,firms (point),cluster (group) and city network (net). In summary,the point and cluster-based logistics research is still from the perspective of "space of places",while the network-based logistics research starts to try to use the idea of "space of flows" theory and use logistics transaction data to restore and identify logistics industry as"space of flows". A small number of studies have begun to explore the role of logistics hub construction in the framework of "scale reconstruction" for regional socio-economic development from the perspective of national strategic planning.
