The circular practices analyzed in each port where<br />
synthesized in a “fiche” format that was structure in<br />
order to clarify which are the activities carried out<br />
by the actor analyzed; what has been the development<br />
of such activities through time; what are the<br />
ambitions toward a more circular economy; furthermore,<br />
it is very important to highlight the exchange<br />
and relation with the city, and moreover, the relation<br />
with the port and the inland water ways.<br />
Understanding the ambitions and the strategy to<br />
each practice in relation with the transition of each<br />
port toward a more circular functioning, have been<br />
crucial in order to building a body of knowledge to<br />
start sharing, and, at the same time, to find a methodology<br />
to compare each port and each strategy.<br />
The synthesis of this work has been translated in a<br />
matrix scheme, that start to give a first insight of the<br />
different constellation of strategies that each port is<br />
developing, giving an overview of the different circular<br />
economy leverages present in each port.
