“Linking global and local, technology and the citizens” is the guiding topic for this year’s AIVP Conference on November 16th, 17th and 18th 2023. Social acceptability and citizen dialogue are the essential foundation of innovative ports. Venice is an extreme example of some of the challenges that will be discussed: threatened by sea-level rise and flooding, often at the forefront of social issues such as tourism, while also keeping and protecting local culture and heritage. AIVP in cooperation with Venice’s North Adriatic Sea Port Authority will offer a rich program, hosting sessions to discuss citizen dialogue in the implementation of solutions for the energy transition, climate change and resilient port cities, balancing tourism and the blue economy with local priorities, or how port-city interface projects can connect citizens with their port. These and many other topics will be addressed in our forthcoming conference.
