The growing demand for passenger and freight transport in cities, resulting from the population growth in urbanized areas, has led to increasing problems with congestion, environmental pollution and, as a consequence, to a decrease in quality of life. This problem was noticed by the European Commission, which began to promote the concept of sustainable urban mobility plans (SUMPs). The efficient implementation of SUMPs requires tools for its evaluation. However, in the literature, most proposed assessment tools relate mainly to passenger transport, omitting the freight transport. The purpose of this paper is to utilize a multiple criteria analysis with the use of the Promethee method in order to assess the level of advancement of selected European Union (EU) capital cities in the field of sustainable urban mobility plan formulation and implementation. This method has been applied on the basis of a survey conducted among representatives of 15 EU capital cities and analyses of transportation plans. This research shows that cities that have a comprehensive transport plan consistently collaborate with different stakeholder groups, have implemented the greatest number of measures in the field of sustainable urban transport, and have achieved the best results in terms of safety and NO₂ (nitrogen oxides) and PM (particulate matter) emissions.

In the paper the authors made an attempt to present the role of local governments in the development of city logistics taking the example of Poland. The paper is divided into four main parts. The first two present theoretical aspects of city logistics and the different roles of stakeholders. The authors have developed the model of collaborative process of local government as a policy maker in the city logistics field. The empirical part of the paper presents survey results conducted in Polish cities with county rights. Research shows a lack of a comprehensive approach to urban logistics in studied cities and poor cooperation of local authorities with other stakeholders

The main aims of city logistics are sustainability, mobility and quality of life by implementing various activities. There are several projects all over the world related to urban passenger and freight transport which have been implemented with success. While some cities can easily improve passenger and freight transport, the others have difficulties in these areas. One of the many solutions available for resolving this problem is to carry out a thorough analysis of the organisation in order to identify its strategic potential in the field of city logistics by use of the key success factors. The main purpose of this paper is the identification of key success factors for city logistics and their importance from the perspective of various groups of stakeholders on the basis of the authorial SLIM-PREF model. In the paper the survey results have been presented, conducted with the use of the Delphi method among experts from all over the world. The results show that the list of key success factors for city logistics should be different for various stakeholders in terms of their different expectations
