Port and Industrial Patrimonies in Friuli Venezia Giulia

The meeting is the result of a direct action from the Trieste Branch of Italia Nostra to protect and promote the reuse of most historic building within the Free Zone in the Port of Triesteā€Ÿs oldest area. Encour-agement and information have been re-ceived from AIVP The Worldwide Net-work of Port Cities based in Le Havre and from the Hafen-City University of Hamburg. This event will seek to create an opportu-nity for economic and architectonic analysis of urban waterfronts with special regards to the tourism flows and culture promo-tion: urban waterfronts play a substantial role in the processes of urbanization in port cities around the world. They promote new built environments, new socio-cultural systems as well as architectonic sugges-tions and restoration works to preserve historic buildings. This event will benefits from both international and domestic ex-periences with the aim to highlight the case of Trieste Old Port and the plans for its future.
