Abstract

The creation of logistics platforms experiences a recent and important craze. This raises two questions : the factors determining the attractiveness of such structures and the composition of firms that occupy them. First, we highlight the set of actors involved in the implementation of these platforms and their role. Then, we differentiate the logistics platforms according their occupation, their location and their morphology, as well as the actors involved in their creation. Results are summarized in a typology of logistics platforms. These results outline a center-periphery model that is fairly common in economic geography. This contradicts the ideas that logistics platforms can be reproduced everywhere and that they ensure the creation of activities. In this context, the important role of the actors involved in the implementation of these structures is highlighted.
