Abstract: The transport of goods in the city (urban logistics) is a central issue for our urban societies. The explosion of direct deliveries to individuals with the development of e-commerce and the multiplication of logistics centers in the peripheries of our cities transform the urban landscape and our lifestyles. The economics of digital platforms found in urban logistics one of its privileged fields of development. The jobs associated with these activities are very numerous (290,000 in Ile-de-France to which we must add the interim, particularly important) and strategic because they concern people with low and medium school qualifications. Yet, despite this visibility and topicality, logistics remains the poor relation of debates and public policies in metropolises. Cities have little use of the arsenal of regulatory instruments available to them. One of the reasons for this situation is that urban freight transport essentially renders the services expected of it. The freight system is very flexible and continuously adapts to the expectations of companies and consumers. But this "efficiency" is achieved only at the cost of heavy environmental, social and urbanistic counterparts.
