“Port City Atlas” now available, supported by AIVP

On 30 June 2023, a new book entitled “Port City Atlas” (nai010 publishers, Netherlands, only available in English) officially went on sale. Port cities are particularly well suited to cartographic analysis and spatial mapping. They are nodes for maritime flows, inspire opposition or coalitions, and are central to public policy at the local, regional, and national levels. For these reasons, the President of AIVP, Edouard Philippe, Mayor of Le Havre (France), was keen to write the preface to the book. AIVP’s General Manager, Bruno Delsalle, was at the book’s official launch on 30 June representing the association’s Executive Committee, and expressed his hope that it would be a great success.
