Abstract
|
|
|
|
| In this paper, we undertake an overview of port migration throughout the world from two perspectives, qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative perspective discusses existing models, drivers and impediments of port migration, supported by concrete cases from around the world. . The quantitative approach measures port migration patterns using urban population and vessel traffic data of about 4,000 places from the 1950s to the present, calculating the volume and share of “outer” versus “inner” traffic and analysing/mapping its evolution/distribution. In conclusion, we discuss the universality of port migration and its readable effects on urban growth or decline. |
