Modeling Delivery Spaces Schemes: Is the Space Properly used in Cities Regarding Delivery Practices?

This paper discusses through modeling methods how the space is used in cities regarding urban freight transport. We will examine this question through one specific object: the loading/unloading (l/u) spaces. By comparing two fields of study (Lyon and Bordeaux in France), their actual situations and various scenarios, we will demonstrate why urban planners have to combine a large variety of solutions to improve the use of space in cities.
