摘要：	The port of Rotterdam faces a huge challenge that has been subject to a national debate for almost 10 years now. It is expected that on the long term (2020) the throughput of goods will almost double, headed by the throughput of containers which in a realistic growth scenario will more than triple from 4,8 mln TEU in 1995 to 17,6 mln TEU in 2020. The original problem was how to accommodate this growth in a port reaching its physical limits. The original solution was a new 2000 hectares port expansion westward into the Northsea. During the planning process however many additional challenges were added leading to an emerging complexity. On the long term however it can be expected that the process will boil down, leaving the port and the region with a sustainable port development and a relevant governing structure that can meet all its challenges. The agenda included the following assignments: ?Intensify and restructure the port land-use, integrating environmental, safety and social aims and regulations ?Prove the lack of port area and the inevitable necessity of the landreclamation and report on its cost benefit ratio ?Design a reclamation that has the right port functionality in harmony with nature and surrounding communities ?Compensate and mitigate all impacts related to the port development a.o. with respect to the EU Habitat Directive ?Additionally combine the port development with the creation of 750 ha nature and recreation area in or near regional residential zones. ?Development should take place in partnerships in which private parties must contribute as much as possible also to the basic infrastructure. ?Official authorising body抯 include 5 national ministries, province, greater Rotterdam Region and Municipality. European regulation and governing has an increasing impact on decision making. ?Respected actors include environmental and nature groups, employers/employees, private firms and municipalities involved. So far a number of potential projects has been defined and are partly under development aiming to intensify, restructure, compensate and mitigate. For the reclamation two basic designs are being discussed: a relatively cheap one with a poor nautical functionality and a more expensive one with a comparable nautical functionality as today. The paper and presentation describe the process and the projects, things learned and still to be learned.
