TOWARD A NEW AND DIVERSE SUSTAINABLE LAND-SEA REGION. THE CASE OF TRIESTE CITY-PORT

It is essential that any plan is integrated into existing planning systems in order to facilitate the harmonious and sustainable development of a land sea continuum. This recognition, along with the related discussions at the EU level, led to the incorporation of the maritime dimension into the new Blue Economy Strategy and Agenda. In light of the extensive literature and experiments on this subject, beginning with the publication of the "Guidelines" for ports in Italy, it is evident that there is a growing trend towards a "Green and Blue Economy." This paper refers to an increasingly sustainable, competitive, and systemic vision between city ports that is both cohesive and integrated in accordance with the Recovery and Resilience Facility Plan guidelines. The established approach to land sea planning, which is oriented towards geography and economics, will be re examined in order to ascertain its suitability for application to port cities, such as Trieste. In light of the varying dimensions and types of the seentities, the paper examines the benefits derived from policy decisions that incorporate place based evidence for long term sustainable development. The objective is to address the challenges posed by a context that is strongly identity based and politi cally geographically diverse, with a view to promoting blue green scenarios in support of public and private investments.
