Chapter Trieste, back to the sea. Designing sustainability and development of logistics and industrial port areas after the pandemic.

Overview & Synopsis

Bringing industry back to the sea is a formula that has a precise and extensive strategic and planning significance. Today, logistics chains are getting shorter. This is a contraction of the excesses of globalization. The pandemic in 2020 and the blocking of Suez in the spring of 2021 have demonstrated the need to create regional buffers capable of absorbing interruptions in the distribution of goods and processing them while also creating added value. The case of the Port of Trieste can be a model to be studied to understand how to effectively govern these transformations.
