16. Type of conclusions and further actions
• The main priorities of our harbour modernisation are focusing on
economic objectives
• The Plan does not show an integrated approach ? The Harbour
Modernisation Plan only helps for nine of the 25 key objectives of
sustainable and integrated urban development.sustainable and integrated urban development.
• The Plan is rather balanced and integrated ? The objectives that are
positively influenced are important. So even at this stage the Plan is
attractive.
• Start discussions with other departments to improve and broaden the
Plan. All options should be used.
• Check with staff members of other department the priorities chosen. May
be they see benefits in the Harbour Modernisation that we did not yet
took into consideration

will attract more traffic than the old harbour
and its old industrial facilities”

21. Example of comment
It is clear from the results obtained with the RFSC that the
main objectives of the Harbour Modernisation Plans are
economic. The social objectives are only improve housing,
public space and the attractiveness of the area. The negativepublic space and the attractiveness of the area. The negative
impact on emissions and air pollution does not show in the
final profile of results, because this negative impact is
"compensated" by the positive impact on other
environmental objectives (biodiversity, improve built
environment). Start discussing with other departments and
deputy mayor to strengthen the plan. Although, politically the
deputy mayor can "sell" this plan as rather integrated.
