Abstrakt:
The use of traditional postal services is constantly decreasing, prompting the management
of postal service providers to look for new opportunities for utilization of available resources
and developing the postal service sector. Simultaneously the city logistics experts are
looking for a way to ensure sustainable development of the urban areas and fulfill
increasing delivery requirements within the city. In Czech and European literature, there is
no publication focusing on the interconnection of these two sectors, i.e. postal service
sector and the city logistics. Foreign literature provides a number of papers related to the
possibility of cooperation between the postal service sector and the city logistics. The
analysis of these papers and the proposal of possible solutions respecting local conditions
in the Czech Republic is the aim of the paper.
