Abstract
Since ports were first created in coastal and riverbank cities, they have remained an integral part of many cities. As maritime trade developed and required more space and infrastructure, ports have gradually become more specialized for maritime purposes. Since the more recent advent of containerization and globalization, port-city relations have become increasingly complex. Therefore, it is important to investigate methods to resolve the conflicts in port-city interfaces. This paper demonstrates an in-depth research study of the approaches taken by major European ports to reconcile port-city conflicts and provides insight and guidance for port authorities on this issue.

Summary
The relationships between ports and their cities have gradually changed throughout urban history. As the world began to be increasingly interconnected, ports have gradually become more specialized for maritime purposes, and there has been a spatial and functional breakup between ports and the cities to which they originally belonged. Since the advent of containerization in the 19th century and globalization in the late 20th century, the relationship between ports and cities has become increasingly complex. It is of great importance to investigate the functional conflicts between ports and cities at the port-city interface and look for approaches to reconcile those conflicts. What types of conflicts do contemporary European ports face at the port-city interface? What types of approaches do the port authorities take to reconcile such conflicts? By examining existing approaches taken by European port authorities to settle port-city interface conflicts, this paper will provide useful insights for future port planners What types of conflicts do contemporary European ports face at the port-city interface?
