Record 4 2003-04-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Urban Planning
CONT

... the port area and adjacent district of the city of Recife were modernized. Although its emphasis lay on the port area, the scheme put forward for Recife covered the entire city.

This derives partly because the future is often connected to strategic decisions made thousands of kilometres away, in the office of an exotic shipping company or in the fore deck of a navigating container ship.

CONT

Le Port autonome de Dunkerque possède une zone industrielle sur laquelle sont implantées des industries sidérurgiques, pétrochimiques, nucléaires et agro-alimentaires relativement polluantes.

La mise en place de cet outil de concertation (commission du SEI) a permis aux collectivités locales de l'agglomération d'entamer un dialogue, principalement avec les industriels et les associations, sur les dossiers d'implantations industrielles et d'aménagements de la zone portuaire et donc de limiter les conflits.

CONT
