The development processes of the city make it an ideal place for discussing urban transformations and celebrating urbanity.

 

The theme of the meeting will be the regeneration of port cities which have a particular development potential and they may take on a key role in launching a smart sustainable development model, starting from local cultural resources, combining the port’s economic, logistic and industrial activities and regeneration.
