Renewed Governance
Promote dialogue between the City and the Port within a renewed governance framework.
Adopting a land management policy that strikes a balance between urban uses and the active port, especially on the waterfront.
How to redesign the waterfront to reduce the port’s expansion into the city and increase permeability?
Collaborative utilization of the waterfront can be organized following a comprehensive assessment of existing port facilities and urban features, considering their roles and whether they’re utilized. In the case of the massive port city of Istanbul, the port authority and Beyoglu neighbourhood created the new Galata port that combined both the extension of the recreation and market area for the local community and tourists with the main port for cruise ships, where the boarding and disembarkation would take place in a spacious underground area without blocking the sidewalk. This is to separate activities of recreation and travelling with a cruise ship, which helps a densely populated city such as Istanbul.
This good practice also includes objectives 6.1 (Developing all types of promenades and other open spaces in City Port interface zones, to promote a better understanding of port and logistic activities) and 8.1 (Incorporating measures designed to reduce port nuisances into building design) of the AIVP’s 2030 Agenda.
The Duluth-Superior Port Land Use Plan was adopted by the Metropolitan Interstate Council in December 2016. It is based on an inventory of the various uses present at the port spaces and the adjacent land. It aims to sustain and optimise the efficiency of the twin ports on the western edge of Lake Superior, and connected to the Atlantic via the Great Lakes and the Saint Lawrence river.
