Paris (France): the Local Port Information Committee works to promote consultation

Goal 4.1

"Guaranteeing better representation for all stakeholders – including civil society – in City Port decision-making bodies.

Challenge(s)

Including citizens and civil society in the management of the City Port territory.

Best Practice

The creation of structures enabling port and urban authorities to set out their requirements and redevelopment strategies represents an opportunity to compare urban and port projects side by side, and to identify any functional incompatibilities or technical impossibilities at an early stage. Dialogue may be opened up to include the wider community affected by projects (private partners, population, etc.), helping to anticipate potential conflicts and move projects forward.

Case Study

The « Local Port Communication Committee » was set up as a forum for consultation between the sponsors of redevelopment or regeneration projects, and all other stakeholders, including local residents. Meetings were held regularly in the ports of the Ile de France region. They brought together local residents or residents' associations, representatives of local communities, industrial stakeholders and « Ports de Paris », providing them with information about the activities and audits carried out at industrial sites and allowing them to discuss potential changes and improvements. A calendar of meetings is scheduled annually, depending on current developments at ports or platforms located in sensitive areas.
