Circular City Ports - Lessons Learned

08 Charter ‘Innovative City Port’ By 1010au, David Dooghe and DRIFT
46
The former port area has been transacted to the
City of Antwerp, that will develop and restructure
the area. Part of ‘t’ Eilandje’, the second phase will
not allow housing development, but focuses on new
urban and port related economies. In this context
a charter was proposed, as the framework of this
new collaborations between companies, authorities
and 3rd parties like OVAM, federations, knowledge
institutes, economical networks... The charter (as
idea) will form a guideline for the development of the
city port area and constitutes the common vision
between these parties.

people in the neighborhood and job demands

M4H and Bospolder-Tussendijk, Rotterdam
West Practice is a network of cooperating local
organizations that offer programs for talent
development and education for 21st century skills,
with the goal to strengthen the socio-economic
resilience of its inhabitants. Beside educating,
mapping and bringing actors together (both from port
and the neighborhood) they set up a neighborhood
investment fund, positioning themselves on the
cross-point between government and companies.
