A / Port issues, brownfields rehabilitation and cultural and creative industries
Ports, canals, factories… adapting infrastructures to new contemporary challenges.
B /Behavioral sciences
Many unknown biases affect our behaviors, and hence our management style.
The program of this 26th meeting is presented as a mosaic of issues, among which the port issues have been particularly developed. The Seine-North canal project, a major investment of several billion euros, consists of linking the Seine axis to the major ports of Belgium and requires the upgrading of the capacity of the existing canals in the crossing of the Lille metropolis. This invites us to work, in particular, on the prospects for a modal shift from road to waterway, for carbon-free urban logistics, and also on the compatibility of port and urban uses of space. The examples of the ports of Strasbourg and Brussels are very interesting for us.
The visit to Plaine Images, a site of excellence in our metropolis, gave a good overview of the potential offered by the cultural and creative industries. Many French cities are rightly interested in these industries: Lille, but also Paris, Nantes and Montpellier are at the forefront of this field in which France plays a major role on the international scene.
For the part of the program devoted to management, we thought it would be useful to share with our Chief Executive colleagues some of the reflections of the MEL’s human resources department, in order to deconstruct our prejudices but also to understand our reasoning bias. We have found that cognitive sciences have a lot to offer us to make us more efficient.
Finally, I would like to testify that the people from the MEL who prepared this meeting did so with great care and pride, taking care of every detail to welcome the participants in the best conditions. I would like to thank them all warmly.
