“…The solutions are defined according to typical CL solutions and their combination with the technologies of Industry 4.0. The ongoing phenomenon in CL is the increase of small delivery frequencies [50], which cause most of the problems in the planning and realisation of logistics activities [6,7]. This trend tends to continue in the future, therefore the focus of this article is set on such categories of goods flows.…”

“…Attempts to implement individual initiatives and measures in practice have shown that the traditional approach for CL planning is unsustainable [6]. Aside from the understanding of city characteristics, identification of participants, their demands, goals and interactions, successful implementation of CL solutions requires integrated planning, cooperation of stakeholders, removing of all barriers and defining of measures that would support the realisation of plans [7]. The application of modern Industry 4.0 technologies makes the definition of creative and sustainable CL solutions possible.…”

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.

“…The main problem is the lack of planning activities and encompassing, long-term CL policies and practices [12]. Instead of treating logistics as a service to the local economy, local authorities have, in most cases, an antagonistic attitude towards the realization of logistics activities, especially transportation.…”

“…For solving CL problems, it is important to consi der the opinions, goals, and interests of all stakeholder groupslogistics service providers, service users, local residents, and local authorities [15]. The relationships among those stakeholders are complex, with often conflicting goals [12]. The goal for logistics service providers is in the reduction of costs and the increase of profit of providing logistics services.…”

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.

“…the consequences for the entire system of the city logistics should be considered. However, changes in the problem solving approaches and integrated planning require a certain level of understanding of the nature of logistics activities, which is usually not the case (Tadić and Zečević, 2015).…”

City logistics aims to increase the efficiency and mitigate the negative effects of logistics processes and activities, and at the same time support the sustainable development of the urban areas. Major European and national research projects, undertaken from the end of the last century onwards, indicate that the state of the urban area logistics is quite critical. The situation requires a comprehensive analysis and active participation of the authorities and companies in order to solve the growing problems and define the sustainable solutions which would encourage the economic development and improve the living conditions in the city. In order to make logistics activities less routine, and thereby more efficient, many initiatives have been launched, especially in the terms of environmental impact and service quality. However, the changes are slow and environmental trends are setting new challenges. The main problem is the lack of planning activities and comprehensive and long term policy of city logistics. Decisions of city planners are often inadequate, without the analysis of existing situation and interaction of city logistics and complex socio-economic system of the city and its surrounding, without research and studies of different measures and impacts on the overall city logistics system. This article presented the current situation and trends in the implementation of logistics chains within the urban areas in order to highlight the complexity of solving the problems of a complex city logistics system.
