As the availability of goods is characterized as an essential factor in the lives of people in given environments, popula- tion 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, espe- cially due to growing concerns about the negative effects of logistics activities, primar- ily 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. APSTRAKT: Aktuelni trend ubrzanog razvoja urbanih sistema uticao je na kvalitet života stanovništva u ovim sredinama, u ekonomskom i socijalnom smislu. Kako se dostupnost dobara tumači kao suštinski faktor života ljudi u datim sredinama, rast populacije uzrokovao je probleme i usložnjavanje logističkih tokova i aktivnosti. Stoga, koncept City logistike sve više dobija na značaju pri rešavanju pomenutih problema, naročito usled rastućih preokupacija o negativnim efektima logističkih aktivnosti, primarno transporta, na ekonomsku, ekološku i socijalnu održivost urbanih sredina. Analiza u radu fokusira se na primer iz prakse urba- nog sistema Brisela i postizanja održivosti u okviru njega, usled adekvatnog upravljanja tokovima City logistike. Cilj ovog rada je da ukaže na značaj adekvatnog upravljanja logi- stičkim sistemima urbanih sredina u cilju njihove održivosti, razvoja pomenutih sredina i svakodnevnog funkcionisanja stanovništva u njima. info:eu-repo/semantics/article https://phaidrabg.bg.ac.rs/o:28693 ISSN: 2217-6217 Aćimović, Slobodan Mijušković, Veljko M.
