Welcome to this interactive documentary


Goto first page
This interactive documentary gives voice to the different actors busy and active in our (city) port environment in the transition towards a circular system.
 
The structure of this narrative wants to guide you through an explorative pathway, investigating the systemic change that our cities and ports are facing. 
It will be a journey of discovering and understanding the different challenges, bottlenecks and boundaries that different parties are facing in being first movers in this field in evolution.

In this regard, the narrative wants to open up the perspective on the circular transition looking at the contemporary situation, analysing it throughout the eyes of the different actors, the key elements in transition and trying to look ahead toward a structured way to accelerate this process of change.

This interactive documentary gathers knowledge and insights from the research trajectory of Circular (City) Ports and from different interviews that were carried out during the months of January and February 2020.

Since the research trajectory started in October 2018, knowledge was collected on circular initiatives and strategies in 11 city ports in the Delta, throughout benchmarking, interviews and working sessions, leading to the following, somehow paradoxical, conclusion: “there is no single way of being circular”. Circularity has no exact definition with an applicable and replicable recipe. The multiple pathways (City) Ports can take to become circular are constantly evolving and are being reinvented, especially as (City) Ports themselves are subject to profound and rapid changes in their style of operations. Circularity continuously adapts and reinvents itself, and new ways of being circular appear.

The Delta Atelier positions itself as an autonomous P2P knowledge and action platform among more than 50 actors who work in innovative ways to make the urban landscapes of our joint Delta. The platform bundles scattered knowledge and practical experience about the spatial impact of different transitions (mobility, energy, water, biodiversity, circular economy, agriculture, care) and organizes interaction between peers - both designers and policy makers and organizations as experts - so that they learn from each other and jointly formulate and realize new breakthroughs.

CCP intro

Before diving into the detailed interactive documentary of the different challenges, bottlenecks, ideas etc., an introduction on why ports, cities and circularity are connected elements is necessary. This introduction is divided into the following parts, to which you can directly go by clicking on the here icon, or you can just scroll down to start from the first section.

In this changing scenario, ports can be seen as key locations in which the transition can be operationalized. In fact, on the one hand, they have crucial expertise and activities that can frame and facilitate this transformation. In addition, circularity, in its broad spectrum, has only been put on the agenda in the last decade. It will be realized and improved by learning-by-doing, in which ports can play a huge role as a ground for testing and experimenting.

The change that circularity announces needs a systemic upheaval of our modern industrial system, of which ports are a crucial node, having enough critical mass to initiate and accelerate the transition. This operationalization along the whole system does not just consist in closing materials loops at the local level, or envisioning a new business model. It also touches upon a societal mental shift and the steering of infrastructure and services development, alongside the transformation of political and legislative frameworks in the planning of our cities, ports and regions. Hence, the systemic change asks for a broader, more comprehensive and integrated vision, in which this critical mass of ports can play a role in pushing this whole system to shift.

Circularity is becoming one of the key priorities on the European, national, regional and local levels. The set goals impose very high standards for the future circular functioning of our everyday life, questioning the production mode and the systems in which it is embedded. Looking at the past and future steps that have to be taken to actualize such systemic transformation, it is apparent that a defined framework is lacking as well as an interpretation of the goals into smaller stepping stones. The question is how these fundamental changes – related to sustainability policy, energy transition, the introduction of the non fossil-based economy, together with digitization and automation – will actually become operational in our reality.  

At the same time, within the broad field of production practices, many innovative circular initiatives are blooming. These are strongly active in strategizing upon the upcoming transition, looking for new kinds of functioning, new economic value and collaborations in order to accelerate the needed shift to circularity. However, they lack a structured framework in which they position themselves and where their efforts can be multiplied, upscaled and spread out.

The gap between the ambitious goals formulated on all levels and the many innovative practices is clear. It is the starting point of conversations, research and collaborations, in order to understand how the bigger goals can land in the field and how the ongoing practices can be steered structurally to have a substantial impact.

The shift from a linear and global trade-oriented model is reframing the relation and the value that the port areas represent for their surroundings.

Cities, ports and regions will be more intertwined, constituting a new system and recognising different specific chains functioning at the local level.

Therefore, each scale and level of these systems need to be revised, in order to embrace and function in a circular perspective. At the same time, each level can not work in isolation. The interrelation and enhancement at the different scales will play a key role.

Ports are conscious of the big shift that is taking place, and they are actively looking for different pathways to face it.
However, the complexity of this transition is not fully translated in the actions taken by the port in implementing circularity in their local system. The current main activations happening at the port level are looking for strategies on the recycle hub, industrial symbiosis and renewable energy investments.

The circular transition goes actually beyond these aspects, and looks at a broader spectrum of actions and frameworks: circularity is all-encompassing and complex, and there is not a singular way to be circular. It interrelates with our environment and society, constituting different values and connections, for which the ports have not yet developed any concrete strategies. Local leverages should be brought up, starting to work on circularity not from scratch, but to find ways to deeply root it in the local circumstances, using specific opportunities.

This means, envisioning an overarching shift to bridge the gap of circularity, challenging strongly the contemporary systemic structure of our ports.

What is certain is that, as for each big structural change, the transition to circularity needs a ‘period of grace’, a period of investments and adjustments in which companies, regulations, policy, cooperation, value chains, etc. will need to adapt and improve to fit the new circular economy.

This period of grace will help to analyse the problems, strategize solutions and roll out experiments together. It is crucial to start now with the initiation of this process of change in order to face the transition in a non-disruptive way.

In view of the challenges that lie ahead, it is clear that a new strategy is needed which focuses on anchoring the competitive position of the ports, and with a focus on sustainable growth, added value and circularity.

In order to succeed, agreements must be made within an overarching port strategy between individual ports as well as with other partners at home and abroad, with different ports and companies. We can not continue doing things in an individual way.

VALUES

Fullscreen
Reaching the next economy, which has to be circular in order to reach the sustainability goals, means seeing opportunities in what is already there: the old, existing and already established economy.

This economy will have to be transformed with new values, which are often not yet known. This means the circular transition is an uncertain path, since we have to restructure our economy as an economy that is not fully known.

To get a better grip on this next economy, different kinds of values should be brought into the picture and investigated.

The following section will illustrate the different values in transitions.
Close
Goto first page
The value of the economy itself is changing. The already established and paid-back old economy has to be replaced by a new one, which requires investments, different value chains and renewed business models. The value chain will change as well as the overall model of circular economy. Many of these aspects are unclear or else not demanding enough to actually push for changes.

The value of the environment is at stake. Climate change is currently opening the eyes of many different parties to look differently at their way of working and what its impact is on the environment.

As a broad concept, circularity is a transition of many aspects in the field of sustainability: it is a material transition, but it also touches on the transition of energy, mobility, ecology, etc. These transitions all needed to be worked on in order to keep our living environment healthy and liveable.

Next to that, the value of ecology itself is now simply considered as compensation for the old economy. Circularity by nature is a regenerative practice, playing a crucial role in protecting the environment, and eventually also in actively improving the ecology and biodiversity in which the production is embedded.

The social value of the circular economy, its human capital, has not yet been fully explored.

The new skills and knowledge that will be generated are going to be translated in different jobs for both thinkers and makers. This social aspect creates a new value impacting the circular practices, ports, cities, regions, etc., but is currently not clearly integrated and valorized in the strategy to make the shift to circularity happen.

There is no ready-made answer to find and integrate these new significances.
Circularity is a broad concept, for which each of these value changes could be interpreted differently. Circularity is therefore a practice of learning-by-doing.

ROLES

Fullscreen
The transition towards circularity affects many different players, direct and indirect.

In fact, envisioning a new system related to new different values, means that the different parties and actors embedded in this system need to understand the role that they can play and how it is evolving during the transition period to circular economy.

Therefore, it is possible to investigate further how the role of practices, port and city authorities, but also academics and researchers are mutating towards and at the same accelerating the shift to a new economy.

The following section will illustrate how the different roles of the actors, part of the transition, are changing.

Practices are transforming: new initiatives position themselves where there are missing links between the current economic system and its circular transition, others are looking for alternative ways of working to transition to a circular mode of operation …

The roles the initiatives are playing in this field of change range from the first mover trying to steer new and different circular dynamics to a more gradual, experimental one, looking for the right sequence of strategic moves to transition to a circular model.

Port authorities are evolving from a landlord role towards a position of co-creator, matchmaker and sustainable next-step, strategic thinkers.

With this changing role they are challenged to adapt the sustainable trends to new forms of governance, different regulations and choosing wisely new initiatives, not only within their own borders, but also in relation to cities, regions and the hinterland.

The city, with its authorities but also its inhabitants, will play a crucial role in the future of the circular transition.

The city is not only a source of resources and waste, but also a pool of thinkers and makers. Therefore, the connection between the city with its economic activities with the port and hinterland will be important.

Furthermore, the city can play a clear role in this as awareness-raiser and first mover in setting new kinds of governances facilitating circular processes.

Legislation around circular economy development and goals is usually framed at a higher level. The operationalization and the translation into policies, programmes or specific interventions, at the regional and city level, never finds its way through a clear and linear process.

The supra-regional institutions can enhance the operationalization of European and national legislative frameworks in the development of circular port areas. This can be done by leading and translating certain norms and rules in order to feed the local questions in this transformation process. This would facilitate the constitution of specific processes, accompanying local parties in the development of a site-specific circular port system.

Experts and academics of all fields will have to adopt a position in the circular transition. The transition concerns knowledge and expertise of all disciplines: from scientific innovation to economic changes, from spatial design to a societal evolution …

Incorporating circularity in their agendas is crucial to implementing the transition into people’s everyday lives. So it is crucial to implement their shifting and also forming role.

Moving towards circularity is the next step to be taken in order to deal with the current challenges: climate change, material scarcity, etc.

As industrialization in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was not only a driving force to change the economy itself, but also a call to think about its spatial impact and needs. It was a challenge to spatial thinkers, architects and urbanists to invent different planning methods for ports, cities and regions, to produce new typologies of housing and industry and to investigate the spatial interrelations between these new invented economies and their demands.

Nowadays, while the transition to circularity is happening step by step on the economic level with the ecological driving force behind it, these same spatial thinkers are needed to take up the challenge to reflect on these new needs of circularity in spatial terms. 

The next section will illustrate how the spatial environment is changing in response to the need of the circular transition, and how spatial thinkers can be part of this process of change.

As circularity can be broadly interpreted – ranging from the circular economy of recycling, reducing but also regenerating ecologies to the rethinking of our energy needs and uses – the spatial impact of all these aspects should be considered in the ongoing discussion on the economic and ecological levels.

Space and the interrelations of spaces will play an even more crucial role in this moment of change.
With making the shift from the global to local economy, with looking at new forms of energy and by rethinking the use of all materials, both new and secondary, as sources, the direct and close connection between these different elements is crucial to make the transition possible. Proximity and mixity will be key assets, which spatial thinkers can help steer.

next steps

Steps have been taken to investigate the transition of ports to a circular functioning. Knowledge has been gathered from, on the one hand, the benchmarking, analysis, working sessions and bilateral talks of the trajectory of Circular (City) Ports, and, on the other hand, the interviews of this online interactive documentary. The many difficulties, arguments, potentialities and dreams show that there is still a long way to go.

In the frame of the trajectory of ‘Circular (City) Ports’, twelve action lines were presented, giving a broad, but focused, overview on where action can be taken in order to move forward in a structured way in the transition. They are a call for change, a call for putting circularity on the agenda of each party involved. In order to make it struc­turally possible for these action lines to happen, it is important that work will be done, simultaneously, on the three levels presented: values, roles and spaces. Therefore, this document is the start of a process, where gradually the different actors have to engage and be involved to contribute to these actions.

The document with the twelve action lines can be found here.
