Exponential increase of e-commerce has triggered the demand for Last Mile Delivery services (LMD), enveloping cities in a new reality that occupies their streets. This work aims to determine whether the urban policies exercised so far have preserved the common nature of public space, preventing the LMD from generating negative externalities to other users or appropriation of collective space. For the development of the research, the governance that has permeated the political work is analyzed in the municipalities of Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia. The result of the analysis shows that urban policies for the growing logistics of consumption in the city are not contemplating the common nature of public space as a value to be preserved, promoting social justice in its use, but maintain a functionalist scheme, understanding that public space houses monofunctional strata that are reserved and compartmentalized to put them priority at the service of economic activity.
