Since 1988, AIVP has been working to improve the relationship between cities and ports, with citizens at the heart of its efforts.Discover the mission, vision, and values of the leading global network of port cities, committed to sustainable development aligned with the United Nations SDGs.

Improve the relationship between cities and ports by fostering dialogue and cooperation, with citizens at the heart of the effort.
AIVP inspires the residents of port cities and works with them to build a sustainable future. We believe that a successful port city is one that puts its citizens at the center of its urban, port, and economic decisions.
Every port city is unique. Yet sharing international experiences opens up endless possibilities for building sustainable development projects.
