In preparation for the 20th AIVP World Conference Cities and Ports, which will take place in New York from November 18 to 21, 2025, we organized the second webinar of our series on October 1, 2025. Entitled “Navigating Change: Innovating Ports, Cities and Climate”, this event provided an opportunity to further explore the central theme of resilience in port cities.
This webinar examined how resilience is embedded within port city territories and how it shapes urban, economic, and environmental development strategies. Through concrete examples, the speakers presented innovative approaches and flagship projects that illustrate the ongoing transformations within these strategic territories.
