As the number of exchanges increases and accelerates, they come up against the quality of life requirements of residents who are mainly living in urban areas. It is therefore essential to question the integration of the circulation of goods in the city. This involves new local equipment, points of articulation, and flow processing. These urban logistics spaces should be included both in areas where land is scarce, disputed and in a complex whole where the private and the public, geography and history, the economy, and the environment intervene. In such a context, the coordination and synchronization of flows are at the center of the questioning. Two major axes of change are then available to decision-makers to reduce the impact of the movement of goods on the urban environment and promote sustainable organizational plans: the pooling of resources and the use of alternative engines. Public and private actors have become aware of the need to act now, to anticipate the logistics patterns that will prevail in the future to ensure a supply of cities that is both efficient and accepted. This bet on the future is based on the obligation to preserve the socio-economic balance of the various downtown areas while reducing the resulting nuisances. It is therefore up to the public authorities to define the framework of intervention, the limits of the exercise. In this, political support is essential
