Based on this statement, this article examines the geography of logistics across the Northwest Europe and their territorial impacts. The analysis is based on an empirical approach. The geographic analysis is based on the study of a sample of logistics facilities within Northwest Europe. The spatial development issue is treated by decryption of European policies. The results illustrate the importance of pre-existing socio-economic structures for understanding the geography of the logistics activities. Furthermore, they demonstrate the impact of the changes in the territorial development policy at all decisional level in Europe on how the logistics development issue is handled
