''Plan the City with the Port'' : download the Guide
A good number of you took part last May in the international seminar that completed 18 months of work and exchanges between the partners in the European project "Plan the City with the Port", a project led by the City of Le Havre. The Guide to Good Practices that stemmed from this work is now available. It provides a better understanding of the various urban-port redevelopment options currently being implemented, their challenges and their limits.
For IACP, who played the role of scientific coordinator throughout the project, it was also the occasion to make a synthesis of a certain number of constants which sound like as many recommendations for ensuring a sustainable blending in these connecting spaces between city and port.
At the time when the movement of the return of the ports to a contact with urban spaces is being confirmed in numerous port cities, we thus hope that you will find in this Guide and this synthesis, useful instruments to carry on with the complex, but stimulating construction of this common edifice comprised by our port cities.
