Valencia’s port expansion to debate
Held during the months of June and July 2020
The expansion of Valencia’s port is, since 1886, a topic that causes controversy due to the difficult equilibrium between economic expansion and sustainability, between the expansion of ways of transport and the protection of the environment. Fundació Scito and Càtedra Territorial Valenciana invited the principal agents involved to debate about the project.
