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.

Four warehouses at the port of Asunción (Paraguay) are being transformed into an entertainment hub. The project, costing an estimated US$6 million investment, should open before the end of 2026. This historic waterfront, now little used, is finding a new urban purpose. The site will host sports facilities, shops, dining and venues for concerts and conventions. The project keeps the area's industrial identity, including its original cranes, and reinforces the historic quay. It durably reconnects the city with the Paraguay River, right in the heart of Asunción's historic centre, between the old railway station and the Government Palace.
Australia has released its Maritime Emissions Reduction National Action Plan (MERNAP), setting seven priorities for decarbonising the domestic maritime sector and supporting international shipping’s transition. The plan focuses on the energy–port–shipping nexus, including investment in low-carbon fuel storage and bunkering, shore power and port energy infrastructure. It also promotes green and digital shipping corridors, support for emerging vessel technologies and demand aggregation for regional operators. Upskilling the maritime workforce is another priority, alongside efforts to reduce regulatory barriers for first movers.
