The port of Mahón today held its first intensive day of public participation to collectively reflect on the future of its southern waterfront. Around a hundred people took part in the thematic workshops of the participatory process for the transformation of the southern shore of the port of Mahón, an initiative promoted by the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) as part of the Port Mahón, Horizon 2030 strategy.
Held throughout the morning and afternoon and continuing tomorrow, Saturday, the sessions have been structured into four working groups dedicated to mobility and logistics, economic and social development, residents and merchants, and sustainability. These dynamics have allowed for an in-depth look at the main challenges and opportunities for the future of the seafront, with spaces for debate that have brought together representatives of organisations, professionals, traders, residents, social groups and people linked to port activity.
The participants have shared their assessments and formulated proposals on the uses, facilities and priorities that the new Ribera Sur should incorporate. All the contributions gathered during these workshops will form part of the base material that will be integrated into the drafting of the preliminary urban development project.
These workshops are a continuation of the institutional and sectoral meetings held in September and constitute one of the central phases of the participatory process, designed to build a shared and realistic vision of the transformation of a strategic space that aspires to become more accessible, user-friendly and integrated with the city of Mahón.
Citizen participation remains open
Participation in this process is still open to all citizens until 15 December via the project website: portmaohoritzo2030.com. So far, more than 1,200 people have visited this page, and more than 20 contributions have already been registered.
Through the portal, anyone can consult the information available, find out the status of the process and submit their proposals, which will be taken into account in the definition of the final redevelopment proposal.
With this initiative, the APB reaffirms its commitment to a transparent, participatory and people-oriented management model, in line with the values of sustainability and urban integration that guide the future of the port of Mahón.
