Specifics of Port Cities (port environment and maritime influence) Port cities represent main nodes of a Network of Flows: Physical (flow of ships and goods) Economic (commercial transactions) Service (insurance) Financial (banks, stock markets, financial operations) Information (concerning commercial transactions, transport chain ,…) Business Cities: World Trade and Maritime Transport
Drivers in Terms of Environment
Flow Management – Accessibility and Multimodality Operational tional Dimensio ension/ (techn hnic ics, , managem ement, nt, organi aniza zatio tion): Great morphological transformations that ports have been going through in the last 50 years are not limited to port areas exclusively. Occupation of greater areas, construction of new port infrastructures, development of rail and road connections with the hinterland and construction of logistics terminals or second-line terminals resulted in significant changes in terms of territory, affecting functional performance and landscape, relationships between ports and surrounding areas.

Cultural and Heritage Dimension Despite the fact that these issues have always gained much attention, soft values have been assuming greater significance in the approach to port-city relation, being considered as a major value in the strategies of port-urban development.
Environmental and Landscape Dimension: Associated to the new culture and the attitude of last generations which appreciate ecology and environment, and to the greater law enforcement and stricter legal standards at the national and international levels Climate Change – Impacts and means of adaptation
