Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to inform you that the Guide "Plan the City with the Port" and
its synthesis are now downloadable from our web site.
280 people 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 on the
IACP web site. It provides a better understanding of the various urban-port
redevelopment options currently being implemented, their challenges and
their limits.
For the International Association Cities and Ports, 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.
You have the possibility of downloading these 2 documents from the IACP
website : www.aivp.org
We obviously welcome any comments, remarks, etc.
Best regards,
Denis DAVOULT
