Abstract

Globally, ports and cities have issues with a lack of symbiosis and co-existence, yet they are dependent on each other. Population increase and urbanisation worldwide has driven the global trade up in an exponential direction. Ports, cities and their citizens are now part of an increasingly bigger global system, where the demand for better speed and quality are an ever-increasing focus. Port cities cannot act as if they are not a part of the globalisation phenomena and the strain it is putting on the environment. Ports and cities need to improve their environmental footprint, unless they want to miss the opportunity of future wealth coming from sustainable trade. New technologies and methods now offer the opportunity to improve the port-city relationship in a co-creational way, with its citizens. If done in a sustainable and correct manner, the new socio-technical solutions, using information systems and information technology, will not only increase the demand and quality of goods and services produced but also improve the maritime supply chains. The strength lies in learning from each other, digitalisation, standardisation and building solutions together.
