The concept of smart cites is seen as a key strategy to mitgate the problems generated by the rapid urbanizaton. Within the smart cites umbrella, the so-called smart mobility has been subject of considerable research. The systematc review reported by this artcle aimed to identfy the most rel- evant applicatons supported by smart cites’ infrastructure with an impact in urban logistc transports. A total of 39 artcles were retrieved, and the results show that the main applicaton areas are related to solid waste management and the routng of logistc feets, namely, to improve the last mile logistcs. Keywords: smart cites, systematc review, urban logistcs, urban mobility. Introducton Cites are dominant centres of populaton and infrastructures. Rapid growth assigns cites a con- siderable number of challenges, including those related to the urban transport, which is respon- sible for a signifcant percentage of the CO 2 emissions with respect to overall transports (Hickman & Banister, 2007; Nocera & Cavallaro, 2014). Moreover, urban transport has a great impact on the
