“…The literature analyzed a wide set of criteria and parameters used for solving CL problems: technical (efficiency, reliability, modal shift, goods flows transformation degree, etc.) [19][20][21][22][23], economic (operational costs, development costs, required subsidies, etc.) [19,21,24,25], social (freeing of public space, city zone attractiveness, traffic congestions, accessibility, mobility, etc.)…”

“…Temporal and spatial demand consolidation, according to some aspects of homogeneity, through consolidation centres, represents the foundation for planning and development of future CL systems [20]. Flow consolidation can take place at the outskirts of urban areas [35], or in the delivery zone, through micro-consolidation centres (MCC) [36].…”

“…Flow consolidation can take place at the outskirts of urban areas [35], or in the delivery zone, through micro-consolidation centres (MCC) [36]. Furthermore, the application of intermodal transportation (IT) and cooperation among participants (especially the carriers of logistics activities) have a significant role in the planning of those systems [20]. The development of appropriate logistics centre categories represents the core of the Physical Internet and it is an important prerequisite for achieving hyper-connected CL [16].…”

The sustainability of urban areas is for decades a controversial point in the issues of sustainable development. Inefficient realization of logistics activities in urban areas results in numerous negative effects on sustainability. Especially unsustainable consequences are those of the dominant road transportation role in urban goods delivery. Achieving sustainability at a micro-level is possible only with the planning of city logistics (CL) systems through the development of different logistics centres categories, flow consolidation, cooperation, and intensive application of alternative transportation modes. The planning of CL systems is a complex task that involves several stakeholders with complex interrelationships and conflicting goals. This article indicates the importance of CL planning in achieving local, micro sustainability. Main stakeholders, criteria, and CL concepts are described in the article. In accordance with the existing literature in the field, new technologies, and approaches, seven potentially sustainable CL concepts are defined.

“…Although the importance of CL is recognised in the scientific literature, in practice, the impact of logistics activities, especially transportation, has been unsustainable for decades [3]. Neglect and inadequate approach towards the problems of logistics in urban areas results in great traffic congestions, air pollution, time losses, the inefficiency of logistics processes, generating of vibrations and noise etc., which can be mitigated only through comprehensive and long-term planning of CL [4].…”

“…There are only a limited number of articles in the literature that focus on the selection of the most appropriate CL solution/initiative. Some of the articles focus on the evaluation of initiatives from specific categories [4,33]. Some articles focus on the selection of the most appropriate CL solution from a set of solutions that are based on different combinations of initiatives, technologies and ideas, for the whole urban area [e.g.…”

The negative effects of goods flows realisation are most visible in urban areas as the places of the greatest concentration of economic and social activities. The main goals of this article were to identify the applicable Industry 4.0 technologies for performing various city logistics (CL) operations, establish smart sustainable CL solutions (SSCL) and rank them in order to identify those which will serve as the base points for future plans and strategies for the development of smart cities. This kind of problem requires involvement of multiple stakeholders with their opposing goals and interests, and thus multiple criteria. For solving it, this article proposed a novel hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model, based on BWM (Best-Worst Method) and CODAS (COmbinative Distance-based ASsessment) methods in grey environment. The results of the model application imply that the potentially best SSCL solution is based on the combination of the concepts of micro-consolidation centres and autonomous vehicles with the support of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies. The main contributions of the article are the definition of original SSCLs, the creation of a framework and definition of criteria for their evaluation and the development of a novel hybrid MCDM model.
