Circular City Ports - Workbook

02 Investigating city ports Working session
20
In parallel with and based on the desktop research
and the interviews of practices, three working sessions
were organized between October 2018 and
April 2019. At these moments, the insights were presented,
and specific challenges, possible leverages
and shared ambitions were discussed with the actors
involved. With the research and working sessions,
the aim is to figure out two main questions.
First, why do we look at city ports for future circular
economy and what is their strategic role for it? Can
we prove the initial hypothesis that city ports play a
crucial role in the transition towards circular economy?
Second, which role does the city port play in
relation to the Delta port system and its geographical
network?
In what follows, we show the outline, content and
working materials of each working session.
