SEA PORTS PANEL

Leader Piotr Pawłowski
Chairman of the Council of Stakeholders of the Port of Gdynia

 

Port and city or port vs. city? Interdependence that can drive development or barriers that inhibit the development of both.

Seaports are not only points of contact between different modes of transport, places that generate large revenues for the state budget, but also important elements of the fabric of coexistence with cities.

The panel will focus on the challenges and opportunities associated with the harmonious coexistence of the city and the port. An important thread will be the integration of port spaces with the urban environment, enabling better use of the potential of coastal locations for the benefit of both residents and the economy.
