ABSTRACT: This paper explores the possibilities of organizing sustainable last-mile delivery in smart cities. A smart city is a place where traditional networks and services become more efficient by using digital solutions for the benefit of its residents and businesses. Delivering goods to residents is a significant challenge in smart cities. With the development of e-commerce, which has been further boosted by the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an evident increase in shipments, which further stimulates the implementation of new solutions to develop green last-mile delivery while meeting the service quality needs of users. Montenegro is taken as a case study. Montenegro keeps pace with technological development and thus the need to define a strategy for the development of smart cities, which includes mobility. The basis for smart mobility is information and communication technologies that currently play a crucial role in mobility, and this paper focuses on a smaller segment of mobility that encompasses the synergy of ICT technologies and postal services to develop smart cities. The paper will focus on calculating the difference in harmful gas emissions by implementing parcel lockers in dense urban areas of Montenegro.
