This report provides a synthesis of main
findings from the OECD Port-Cities Programme, created in 2010 in order to
assess the impact of ports on their cities and provide policy recommendations
to increase the positive impacts of ports on their cities. This Programme was
directed by Olaf Merk, Administrator Port-Cities within the OECD Public
Governance and Territorial Development Directorate.
The synthesis report is based on findings from
a series of OECD Port-Cities case studies. Such case studies were conducted for
Le Havre/Rouen/Paris/Caen (France), Hamburg (Germany), Helsinki (Finland),
Marseille (France), Mersin (Turkey), Rotterdam/Amsterdam (the Netherlands),
Antofagasta (Chile), Bratislava/Komárno/Štúrova (Slovak Republic), Durban
(South Africa) and Shanghai (China). Within the framework of these studies,
study visits to these port-cities were conducted, which included a series of
interviews with the port-city related actors and stakeholders in these places.
