Abstract	In Europe, the majority of the population lives in cities. The industrialization of production, combined with the trend of over-consumption and the spread of e-commerce, has increased the freight transport activities within the urban environment. The pandemic has stressed the urban freight transport systems even more, since consumers feel more secure shopping online, thus increasing the amount of goods distributed into the cities. It is clear that due to the complexity of the urban environment, City Logistics is a part of the supply chain that needs special treatment. In this paper, an organized approach to the issues related to City Logistics is conducted, developing an integrated framework of smart goods distribution measures in urban centers. Furthermore, the pilot implementation of the framework in the city of Volos, Greece is tested and evaluated. This framework can be used as a tool when upgrading and modernizing freight distribution systems, in any medium and large European urban center. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
