Abstract Research carried out on the topics of freight and transport planning has reflected the concern with the impact thereof on sustainable urban development. This concern highlights the objective of designing environmentally friendly and, simultaneously, efficient distribution systems to supply the urban centers, endeavoring to integrate the different, and sometimes even conflicting, perspectives of society and enterprises. The design of such systems is not straightforward, as it requires balancing a complex system of variables and objectives. Thanks to the emergence of new concepts and trends, the current prospects for achieving that balance can be improved. Some emerging concepts provide opportunities for incorporating logistics and transport planning solutions in smart city technological initiatives. This article briefly examines fundamental concepts arising from the most recent societal trends and industry changes. These concepts are essential for keeping abreast of some of the most likely developments in urban goods distribution in the short term. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
