Haïfa (Israel) regains access to the sea

Goal 6.2

Integrating spaces and functions open to residents and visitors alike into port facilities, enhancing the visibility of the port and its activities.

Challenge(s)

How to manage the aesthetics of a port during a big restructuring project ?

Best Practice

Occupied and empty spaces, visual perspectives, building heights and volumetric shapes are all factors that can be altered in order to optimise the way city/port interface sites are integrated into the existing urban and port context. With careful planning, it is possible to preserve and/or create visual perspectives of the water, dock basins, reclaimed port patrimony, the port and its activities.
