AIVP in Amsterdam (Netherlands) for a new European “Connected River” project

From Tuesday 28 to Thursday 30 March, the thirteen partners involved in the European “Connected River” project met in Amsterdam (Netherlands). The meeting marked the start of work by this new cooperation initiative focusing on rivers, waterways, and waterfronts. The AIVP is among the participants in this major European project. Our association has agreed to disseminate the best practices identified following pilot schemes in five countries: the port of Amsterdam and the city of Nijmegen (Netherlands), the port of Hamburg (Germany), the ports of Lille (France), the city of Vordinborg (Denmark), and the Kleine Nette river in Flanders (Belgium). The ambitious consortium has a shared goal, to find solutions to mitigate conflicts between the different uses of these spaces in river port cities.
