Its objective is to improve the relationship between city and port through a process of mutual cooperation, for urban, port, and economic development that’s more sustainable, more responsible, and more innovative, putting citizens at the heart of everything you do. As an actor of globalisation, the port city is a laboratory for the city and the economy of tomorrow and where innovations must be encouraged.
Share knowledge and information on the future of port cities and on ongoing and completed projects, between large and small port cities, between developed and developing countries.
Integrate sustainable development to ensure that economic growth takes into account citizens’ quality of life and environmental concerns.
In city-port development or regeneration projects, to counter gentrification of maritime and port spaces and promote social inclusion.

In Stratford (United States) and Constitución (Chile), two port projects are moving forward thanks to dialogue with the territory. Point Stratford Renewal, the private firm in charge of redeveloping the site, consulted residents on the future of a former 77-acre military plant on the waterfront. To do so, it held a community meeting, launched an open survey and hosted open house sessions. In Chile, several seminars introduced residents and academics to the Puerto del Maule project, which includes terminals for containers and bulk cargo. In both cases, direct contact with local stakeholders helped align the projects with the territory's real needs and better anticipate their environmental and social impact.
