ASSET Webinar Meet & Learn #The Port City Atlas: European Seaports and transition challenges
19 July - 2024 , Online
12:00-13:00 CET
This ASSET meet and learn on Friday 19 July 2024 we have Carola Hein, Professor TU Delf, Netherlands as our guest speaker.
Taking a comprehensive, mapping based approach, Port City Atlas visualizes 100 port city territories located on four seas and connected through shared waters. It provides a foundation for comparative analysis beyond case study approaches that are often locked into national contexts, select languages or disciplinary approaches. Conceived as a work of reference, the book makes the case for a sea-based approach to the understanding and design of Europe.
