Abstract
Despite the changes that have occurred in the economic and social structures, the concurrence of the city of Patras and its port is reflected even today in the urban fabric. The main objective of the paper is the investigation of the interrelations between the port and the city of Patras from the first Voulgari’s city plan in 1828, which defined its future role in close connection with the city centre, until today, where a major transformation is taking place: the construction and operation of the New Patras Port. The New Patras Port is located in close connection to the old industrial area of Patras, which attracted the industrial activity of the city since the late nineteenth century until 1990, when it presented the first signs of deindustrialisation. The transfer of the greater part of port activities is a springboard to change for this part of the modern history of the city in terms of sustainable development.
