URBAN LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS IN LA DEFENSE

The local public establishment Paris La Défense, has just signed a partnership with Sogaris, aiming to improve the urban logistics of the territory of La Défense. In a context of strong growth in flows and the expansion of e-commerce, urban logistics is a major challenge for the attractiveness of the business district. This partnership with Sogaris is completely in line with the desire of the local public establishment to bring out innovative and responsible projects. Some oversized car parks could mutate into last-mile delivery spaces.

Pierre-Yves Guice , the general manager of Paris La Défense, "If the slab of La Défense has many advantages, on the contrary it also has several weak points with difficulties of access… We continue to drag ourselves handicaps, things that were insufficiently thought out from the design of the district, fifty, sixty years ago. The question of logistics is one of them. At the time, we had no intuition of the evolution of consumer behavior and companies over half a century….This exceptional built heritage takes on a new meaning with changing needs.Several levels of car parks distributed in the district could change in the years to come to accommodate new uses”.
