Abstract

We aim in the course of this article to demonstrate the obvious yet underestimated effects of logistics on territorial planning. In fact, we tried throughout the article to convince by example that logistics has indeed become more of a territorial related practice than corporate affiliated function. In order to verify our theory we went back to the basis of logistics and rooted it back as a territorial offer key component. Then we retrieved different interactions that link logistics to territorial basics such as infrastructure, attractiveness, city … by means of putting together a territorial planning project canvas and quantifying its content in order to get a statistical view on logistics weigh in territorial planning. We actually ended up with a convincing 37% impact value of logistics-related components on the territorial project construct, highlighting accordingly their importance to territorial processes effectiveness. We ultimately were able to confirm that logistics has indeed become more of a territorial concern, as it actively participates in its attractiveness. In fact, business’s logistics strategy has to answer to territorial functions as: harmony with landscape, quality of life, infrastructure effectiveness… amongst others. This led us towards few prospects that could help territories succeed a logistics-driven attractiveness. One of these prospects is to develop a managing system for city planning driven by city officials but where decision making goes through professionals, entrepreneurs, citizens to ensure that territorial planning is done in accordance to the real needs as expressed by its users, amongst which there is logistic-platform managers and multinational companies.
