Every year, around 31,5 million tonnes of goods are required to ensure that Paris functions economically and socially. A goods movement as a whole generates significant negative external effects, both in terms of environment and health. As far as Paris is concerned, it was in 2001 that attention was focused on the transport of goods as part of the implementation of new policy regarding mobility and the sharing of public spaces. A consultation exercise involving stakeholders conducted over a period of more than 6 years led to the emergence of a new goods transport policy for the City of Paris. The policy is based on a dual approach, with a regulatory aspect and a commitment aspect and includes a new simplified set of goods regulations, the introduction of the environmental principle, a new definition of delivery areas, a signature of the charter of good practices for goods transport and deliveries in Paris, incorporating goods transport into urban development documents and several examples of green logistics operations. However, there is still a lot to do. A priority is to keep the political will alive. Besides, the rather restricted geographic area of Paris brings limitations to the actions which have been implemented. At the same time, it is important to develop a goods transport policy for logistics encompassing whole of the Paris region (Paris basin) with the creation of a goods transport organising authority that can operate on a regional scale. The Paris experience can be reproduced mostly in their methodological aspects, and in a lesser degree as far as the actual policies are concerned.
