Ports and cities are historically strongly linked, but the link between port and city growth has become weaker.

How can ports regain their role as drivers of urban economic growth and how can negative port impacts be mitigated? Those are the questions that this report aims to answer.

An assessment of port-city policies shows the effectiveness of transportrelated port-city policies, provided that policy coherence is respected.
