Synopsis

Maritime transport is a key factor in the globalisation process where port cities play an essential role as edges of economic, technological, cultural, and institutional diffusion. Global supply chains depend on a complex network of port cities and are thus representative elements of economic structural shifts at national and regional levels.

This book explores the role of port cities as global actors since the end of the Second World War. It focuses on the morphological evolution of port cities, their economic functions, and cultural heritages. This volume incorporates case studies from regions around the world and analyses the differences and common features related to the global integration process. This edited collection offers a range of methodological approaches prepared by academics specialised in geography, history, economics, and urban planning.

Port Cities and Globalisation will be directly relevant to a wide variety of scholars and postgraduate researchers in the fields of transport studies and management, maritime logistics, port economics, as well as urban planning, regional development, and human geography.
