CIVITAS PORTIS – Port-Cities: Integrating Sustainability

CIVITAS PORTIS designed, demonstrated, and evaluated innovative sustainable mobility measures in five European port cities: Aberdeen (UK), Antwerp (Belgium), Constanta (Romania), Klaipeda (Lithuania), and Trieste (Italy). The project also had a major international ‘follower’ in the port city of Ningbo (China).

PORTIS set out to show how sustainable mobility can increase functional and social cohesion between city centres and ports, whilst driving economic growth and making urban environments more attractive. It did this by implementing a total of 49 measures – collected in a variety of packages – that addressed four main themes.

PORTIS facilitated collaboration between port authorities and municipalities by creating the governance structures needed for coordinated mobility and land-use planning. The main way of enabling this collaboration was the establishment of cooperation platforms.
