| Résumé anglais |
Transporting merchandise within cities is an increasing cause of disturbances and urban pollution. In order to deal with the problem, municipalities have employed a variety of measures over the past few years which range from the traditional (police orders forbidding heavy truck traffic) to the innovative (creation of municipal logistic platforms). In a rapidly evolving local context, this study presents the main elements concerning transportation of freight merchandise in cities. We have carried out a synthesis of the most recent works published on flow and the characteristics of urban freight transport. An analysis of urban public policy concerning freight is presented, which insists on the one hand on the spatial fragmentation resulting from the current organization of traffic regulation authority, and on the other on the development of service-provider policies which will directly offer public services linked to the transportation of freight within cities. A brief development then presents the reform of the "plans de déplacements urbains" (PDU = urban transport planning) which resulted from the French clean air act of December 1 996 and which is beginning to modify local policies concerning merchandise.
