Should we not consider new kinds of city-port cooperation to generate economic value, in a social and environmental context revolutionised by new technologies and global challenges such as climate change, rarefaction of natural resources and questions about the end of era of fossil energy? Faced with increasingly complex situations, it is now more vital than ever for politicians, econo-mic operators and citizens to experiment with new approaches to develop their ports and port cities, with a greater emphasis on convergence and complementarity. The search for synergies is central to local debates. Populations want jobs, quality of life, safety and security. Closely interdependent issues such as mobility, energy, climate and demography are growing steadily in importance. And while governments look for global solutions, there is a constant drive to pro-mote innovation locally as a mean of improving social cohesion and well-being for local commu-nities and enterprises. Port and City industries have to look for new “circular” business models, and have to adopt new technologies that are developing very ra-pidly, in order to find concrete solutions, drawing on the considerable assets of a specific natural, human and economic ecosystem. New coalitions between local communities, local entrepreneurs, port businesses and pu-blic bodies are to be set up. These collabora-tions and synergies offer tremendous possi-bilities for action and innovation, and we are only just starting to grasp their potential. Our worldwide conference in Rotterdam will aim to demonstrate it. Now is the time to pool knowledge, energy, resources and spaces, to come up with the solutions needed. Circular economy, renewable energy, flexible urban development, social and societal integration, the collaborative economy, new technologies, environmental innovation and human capital are all areas to explore.This will lead to new City-Port-Citizen synergies that will prove invaluable to responsible port cities, as they face both the challenges of the future, and the needs of their local communities and businesses.

HOW CAN CROSSOVERS BETWEEN CITIES AND PORTS ENHANCE THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY?The realisation that resources are not inexhaustible now seems to be universally accepted, and COP21 made that explicit. Yet the transition towards a more virtuous economic model is only just beginning. It is likely that there is still hitherto unknown potential for action. Port cities in particular would seem to offer an ideal setting in which to create a circular economy, aimed at recycling, sharing, re-using, designing and producing in new and improved ways. Our city-port ecosystems would be richer, more coherent and more sustai-nable as a result.

� Biobased industry combined with local circularity initiatives; � Renewable energy production and storage and smart grids; � Industrial ecology; reducing environmental impacts by sharing of products, waste, utilities, hardware, facilities… � Recycling systems; � CO2, steam and heat cap-ture-storage and re-use in port cities; � Use of biofuels and sustainable fuels for logistics; � Ports as facilitators of off shore wind industry.

HOW CAN CROSSOVERS BETWEEN CITIES AND PORTS STIMULATE INNOVATIVE BUSINESS CLIMATE?Bringing together established bu-sinesses, start-ups and research institutes in a single location is about more than mere physical proximity. Promoting synergies and multi-sector partnerships helps to move away from a silo mentality and forge an environ-ment favourable to innovation, collective thinking and co-pro-duction. Port cities then beco-me engines for new economic growth and job creation.

� stimulating and facilitating start ups; � crossovers - start-ups – grown-ups – with settled port industries; � crossovers port industries with maritime services and commo-dity trade; � crossovers research-inno-vation-business; innovation networks; � funding models; � services and competences sharing; � sharing facilities in business areas.

HOW CAN WE USE SMART TECHNOLOGIES FOR GREEN LOGISTICS AND INDUSTRIES IN PORT AND CITY? New technologies and new ways of accessing information have revolutionised the way customers and consumers behave. They have become more demanding when it comes to the quality and the environmental impact of products and services. Bu-sinesses have adapted to this new reality, forcing the logistics industry to follow suit. So what is the situation today? Which are the areas where port cities could potentially take action by using smart technologies? Which are the likely consequences for the collaboration between City and Port?

� The potential of new tech-nologies (3D printing, nano, augmented reality etc) for manufacturing, supply chains, maintenance industries; � Possibilities of open and big data for green logistics / sup-ply chains; � Internet of things, possibilities of co-creation with enterprises and communities (ex: energy smart grid, drones, we-noses); � Innovative and green mobi-lity (ex: smart parking, real time management of traffic, green / electrical highways for trucks...).

HOW CAN JOINED URBAN AND PORT PLANNING FACILITATE THE NEXT ECONOMY - FLEXIBLE FRAMEWORKS OF PORT AND CITY?The need to create a sustainable city-port, with a mix of functions is becoming more and more widely accepted. To that end, more needs to be done to devise new functions for the city-port interface and new ways of planning the city with the port: flexible and scalable planning, new decision-making and monitoring tools, co-creation and a collaborative approach based on cross-functional working environments that involve the wider community.

�Waterfront development: mixed use areas (1+1 for city and port); � New planning principles, flexible planning networks involvement; � Actor network planning, invol-vement of local communities and the new tools available; � Create innovative environ-ments for start-ups (environ-ment incubator); � Planning to solve environmen-tal issues (including general legislation issues); � Local agriculture and other new uses for port interstitial spaces; � Social Return of investment in redevelopment projects port city interface.

HOW CAN CROSSOVERS ALLOW THE CREATION OF RESILIENT PORTS CITIES FACING UP TO THE CHALLENGES OF CLIMATE CHANGEThe recent COP21 provided a good demonstration of this: cities - and in particular port cities - are not only at the front line of climate changes, but also among the most dynamic when it comes to finding answers to the issue. Many Port Cities are part of sensitive deltas. They are looking beyond strategies merely designed to resist climate phe-nomena and actually adopting innovative solutions, which also happen to offer opportunities for resilient port cities for the benefit of both the population and the biodiversity alike.

� Adaptive planning; � Eco-design of buildings; � Flood protection and city development; � Combinations of water reten-tion and public space; � Building on water; floating communities… � Protection and enrichment of biodiversity; � Innovative mitigation solutions.

HOW CAN PORT CITIES ENHANCE SOCIAL INNOVATION, DEVELOP NEW SKILLS AND RAISE THE PROFILE AND IMAGE OF THE PORT? The emergence of a civil society with an increasingly proactive role in development, a new approach to professional life and the impact of new technologies, are all game-changers. The knowledge and skills required are evolving constantly. Ports and their partners – ranging from businesses and trade unions, to universities and municipali-ties – are at the cutting edge of this change. As such, they have a crucial part to play in social innovation and training for both current and future generations of workers.

� Effects of new technologies (like automation) on type of labour demand / skills; � Challenges of circular eco-nomy / green economy on skills; � Involving enterprises, edu-cational institutes, unions in social innovation; � New education models / Communities of Practice; � importance of sharing knowledge & educational networks; � Educating the next generation of change-makers (and how to attract and retain young talents on the long term); � Evaluating tools for investing in CSR, innovative education and labour management.
