GREEN DESIGN PRINCIPLES DURIND All STAGES of MASTERPLANING

Existing ports, particularly old commercial ports, are often surrounded by the city precisely because they have developed in this way due to the very presence of the port.Ports have been the single most important economic driver in many countries, to the extent that most of the major cities of the world have developed alongside a commercial port. Port and city development has always been very closely related. In most cases, the growth of major coastal cities has been driven by port business. This has been due to the creation of many local companies related to a greater or lesser extent to the operation of the port, direct and indirect job creation and taxes paid to local authorities. As a result, ports have contributed greatly to the wealth of their related city.
