Description
Ports have been and continue to be critical in not just the global movement of goods, but also the global movementof ideas, social change and cultural phenomena including architecture and urban form. The connected points of a multi-faceted network, ports profoundly affect both each other and the cities and regions to which they belong. Shipping and trade networks have created a legacy embodied in the street patterns, land use and buildings of interconnected port cities. Multiple forces are at play: technological requirements, elite preferences and working class needs, urban policy and globalization. Port Cities brings together original scholarship by both well-published and younger scholars and builds upon long-standing research on the international exchange of architectural and planning ideas. A carefully selected series of essays examines comprehensively and globally the changing built and urban environment of selected port cities. Scholars from multiple disciplines explore similarities, dissimilarities and the ways in which sea-based networking influences urban landscapes and architecture, socio-economic and cultural development from the 19th to the 21st centuries. The first section examines global networks linking ports and cities and explores the effect of intercontinental transfers on architecture and planning. The second part focuses on interconnected port cities in regional contexts analyzing socio-economic structures, urban and built form. The third section examines the built environmentof selected cities from around the world in view of their response to changing technology, transforming socio-economic networks and political contexts, and evolving design concepts.
