European Port Cities in Transition
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-36466-3 (ISBN)
This book examines the role of modern seaports in Europe and consider how port-cities are responding to these major drivers for change. It discusses the broad issues facing European Sea Ports, including port life cycles, spatial planning, and societal integration. May 2019 saw the 200th anniversary of the first steam ship to cross the Atlantic between the US and England, and it is just over 60 years since the invention of the modern intermodal shipping container - both drivers of change in the maritime and ports industry. Increasing movements of people, e.g. through low cost cruises to port cities, can play a major role in changing the nature of such a city and impact on the lives of the people living there. This book brings together original research by both long-standing and younger scholars from multiple disciplines and builds upon the wider discourse about sea ports, port cities, and sustainability.

"While there is no reason to be naïve about the lobbying power of shipping lines or port authorities, the prospect is good for advancing with some new policy schemes that would support sustainability in port and port-city affairs. On this aspect the book provides ample ideas and inspirations for ports, port cities and governing bodies on how to get further along the difficult path to sustainable development."
