The purpose of this paper is to propose new perspectives on the strategies of real estate developers and public policies for the development of urban logistics facilities in the dense area of the Paris region. We propose to evaluate the growth potential of urban logistics facilities in the Paris region. The potential is defined by the availability of bare or built plots (but assigned to an existing logistics function), their size, price, immediate environment and accessibility to the road network). We use Immostat database that provide many information on transactions, prices, vendors and buyers. These data are available from 2005 to 2020 and are geolocalized. We then carry out a factor analysis of mixed data (FAMD) (quantitative and qualitative variables).
This exploratory work constitutes a first approach to incorporate land prices in the analysis of logistics facilities location and offers perspectives on the potential of locations for urban logistics facilities. The preliminary results allow us to take into consideration the nature and price of the land, in addition to the established economic literature about land rent. The choice not to adopt a micro-economic approach but an urban planning approach to the question of land prices allows us to take into account the localized effects of negotiation in the financial transaction and discuss the mechanism of urban development.
