The focus of this 8th edition will be on Cities and Ports. These are players, sometimes in duality, sometimes in symbiosis, but always essential to urban planning, and therefore to sociology, town planning, construction, the environment, and commercial and human exchanges between territories. From Marseilles, Limassol and Beirut, cities that are so much Mediterranean, COBATYMED will draw on experiences and forward-looking reflections! During these days of exchange, Forums will bring together qualified experts, international players and elected representatives, to enable participants to immerse themselves in all the economic, strategic and environmental components, but also to imagine the prospects and organizations of tomorrow.
