Abstract

The aim of the paper is to present some smart solutions which could be recognised as innovative solutions in both areas: technology and organisation. The above mentioned solution could be implemented by logistics, especially city logistics. However, there are two different topics with different meanings: sustainable development and the innovations – the concept of sustainability and innovation have important characteristic in common. Both terms represent concepts that are often poorly defined but they have positive connotations in most cases. The innovations and sustainable development are used as actual or supposed problem solvers in crises where a possible, immediate course of action is not discernible.
