Abstract
Urban areas have always been the center of increased economic activity in the spatial sphere. It is estimated that cities' contribution to national GDP is more than 80 percent of total GDP. The role of cities in the spatial sector, their spatial expansion and population growth, increasing social, economic, political and cultural impacts have been accompanied by a number of transport problems. Having a sustainable transport system is not only an option but a necessity and a natural legality to meet the growing demand, as well as to maintain the quality of life for city dwellers.
A sustainable logistic system also requires the provision of a diverse, integrated and balanced public transport service and manage freight transport operations. This particularly applies to freight traffic in urban areas. With the increase in economic activity and the growing population in cities, freight traffic needs are increasing. It is estimated that about 10% of total traffic is related to freight traffic, while about 40% of pollution caused by the transport sector in the urban area is caused by urban freight transport.
The logistics activity with transport sector in each urban metropolis causes substantial negative impacts on the environment and human health. Transport is responsible for a quarter of the EU’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and causes air pollution, noise pollution and habitat fragmentation.
For these reasons, we must build a clean, smart and comprehensive "mobility" system that caters to mobility needs by offering a service tailored to all user requirements, without disrupting the natural balance of the existing ecosystem.
Keywords: urban area, green logistics, freight transport sector, air pollution, sustainable environment
