In order to promote the potential vitality, employment, innovation and sustainability in this hybrid area in the long term, a joint approach is needed for the various stakeholders: the municipalities of Schiedam and Rotterdam, the companies in the port area and the Port of Rotterdam Authority.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What are the activities of the local businesses? Is there room for continued development? Should Schiedam, apart from Rotterdam, also profile itself independently? What about the accessibility of the area? Based on the answers to these questions, an implementation agenda for the Schiedam port area is made with the stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>The Port of Rotterdam Authority and the municipality want a role beyond the landlord. The long-term task is to make the port area deliver more added value thanks to economic transition, to improve the quality of life, to ensure a better environment and to stimulate (local) employment.<\/p>\n<p>The research mainly focusses at Schiedam, but Next Generation Waterfronts is also a case study on how to develop similar areas.
