Maritime ports and the cities hosting them have long fascinated scholars ? geographers, economists, architects, urban planners, sociologists etc. ? as they become centres of exchange where different social and urban environments meet, at the intersection between land and sea. Given that the current body of literature on the topic is biased ? mainly concerning the Western world and East Asian region ? with mono-disciplinary tendencies, this book outlines a theoretical basis from a wide range of literature, linking port-city studies, globalization theories and logistics, and adopts a multidisciplinary perspective. The main target audience of the book includes scholars and graduate students in urban studies, spatial planning, urban and regional economics, logistics, geography and transport geography with an interest in studying port geography and the port-city interface, port infrastructure development and port hinterland dynamics; it will also benefit policymakers and urban planners whose work involves these topics. 410 0$aPoliMI SpringerBriefs,$x2282-2577 606 $aPort cities 615 0$aPort cities. 676 $a387.1 700 $aAkhavan$b Mina$0977661 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910418325103321 996 $aPort geography and hinterland development dynamics$92227389 997 $aUNINA
