Port and City Community Relationship Planning and Management August 15 – 26, 2016

Port and City Community Relationship Planning and Management       August 15  –  26, 2016

The relationship between ports and city  community recent times is increasingly becoming crucial and very  challenging to manage as to achieve the maximum expected benefits of  such relationship. The relationship should be symbiotic but this has not  been the case because it is either that the port or city is growing and  developing at the expense of the other thereby conflicts of strategic  interests and encroachment. The fact is the port needs to grow, expand  and develop as well as the city community business-wise and  socioeconomic too. Port and city relationship therefore needs to be  properly planned, managed and coordinated to benefit each other without  constraints. This programme (by popular request from port and city  community) is designed to address these teething challenges of port and  city relationship.

The aim of this programme is to create a  strategic understanding of the interdependency of port and city  community relationship as a function of the other in an increasingly  competitive business environment.
