Abstract
The presentation answers to the questions "How to raise awareness among the port stakeholders about sustainability and green port goals? And at same time involving external stakeholders in a common transparent governance system?" by introducing an innovative approach to the development of port communities and to the port city system: the Learnig Port approach. That approach places innovation and learning at the core of development, with a systematic use of complementary interests, competencies and infrastructures to exploit a bottom-up development of enterprises, institutions and administrations by the way of partnerships and networks . Learning for a port means constantly looking-out at the world port community (especially ICT innovation, new standards, trends) and looking-in at its own system (infrastructure, management, stakeholders, operators, workers, local society, R&D), and finally trying to understand how external and internal environments are interacting with each other. To activate learning processes (on economic, social, spatial and environmental issues), port organization must stimulate a dynamic spiral of knowledge conversion. Only mixing specific spatial and cultural attributes with the international experience in a continuous learning process, the port can be an "active" space with knowledge-intensive economy. The learning approach can be combined with the Soft Values Management for Seaports .I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
