Ten years ago the City of Paris set itself the objective of encouraging the development of more efficient and less polluting urban logistics. To do this it has been necessary to design a network of metropolitan logistics on four scales which is established both in and out of Paris.
Means of transportation and the organisation of Urban Logistics Spaces (ELU) are evolving in order to better address the growing needs of consumers, be they the general public or professionals.
Consequently, the need for premises of varying dimensions in the city is essential and is therefore included in urbanism documents so that this activity can be preserved and developed.
Setting up approximately sixty areas where urban logistic facilities are established and the extension to level 3 ELU as defined by the CINASPIC (Necessary Construction and Facility Requirements for Public Communal Interest Services) form part of the main logistic levers in the changes made to the 2016 PLU.
The City of Paris has acquired the regulatory tools for recreating a network of logistic sites in the city centre, while preserving existing premises and facilitating the installation of new ones.
This note describes the main measures which could be used by other PLU and PLUI (Inter-municipal Local Urbanism Plans) by adapting them to local contexts.
