Abstract: The current trend of rapid development of urban systems has affected the quality of life of population in these areas, in economic and social terms. As the availability of goods is characterized as an essential factor in the lives of people in given environments, population growth has caused problems and complicated logistics flows and activities. Thus, the concept of City logistics is getting more important in dealing with this issue, especially due to growing concerns about the negative effects of logistics activities, primarily transport, on economic, environmental and social sustainability of urban areas. The analysis within the paper focuses on the case study of the urban system of Brussels and its sustainability achievement due to managing the city logistics adequately. The aim of this paper is to point out the importance of adequate city logistics management for the sustainability of urban systems, the development of the mentioned environments and the daily functioning of the population within them.
