Preface
In November 1979 the Department of Geography in the University of Southampton held
an international seminar on problems of cityport industrialization. The seminar arose from
long-established interests within the Department in urban development, port studies and the
geography of continental Europe; and formed an important element within an active pro¬
gramme of international contact and cultural exchange in which many members of the
University are involved. Financial support for the seminar was provided primarily by the
Social Science Research Council, and the seminar took place in the context of a specific
programme of Anglo-French cultural co-operation organized by the Council and by the
Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. At Southampton, the University was pleased
to provide the venue for the seminar; the origins and development of the city have depended
upon transport, especially upon the port function; and links between Southampton and
France have always been close, if not always as amicable as they generally are today. The
University has long been involved in research and teaching on many aspects of transport
and urban development, and is well placed to analyse maritime systems and to develop links
with continental Europe.
The seminar was devised as a means of bringing together, from their bases in French and
British universities and various other organizations and institutions, a group of people who
have demonstrated in a variety of ways a close interest in the industrialization of port-cities
and in the spatial expressions and planning implications of the port/city interface. Partici¬
pants came from Belgium, Canada, France, Switzerland and the United Kingdom; and they
included economists and geographers, representatives of port management and planners; all
were concerned with the analysis of relationships between cities, ports and regional develop¬
ment, with special reference to industrial employment. Whilst the experience of members
of the seminar was derived primarily from western Europe, as a whole the discussion focused
upon wide-ranging methodological and systematic issues rather than upon case studies; but
considerable reliance was placed upon evidence from North America, Japan, and the less-
developed countries of South-east Asia and tropical Africa. The juxtaposition of ideas and
methods from a wide variety of sources, in the context of a global approach, proved to be a
rewarding experience.
Papers presented at the seminar have been extensively revised, edited and in some cases
translated for publication in the present volume. Each contributor has attempted to analyse
one selected theme within the general field of cityport industrialization and to illustrate
ways in which geographical approaches, methods or techniques may positively contribute
towards an increased understanding of the problems posed by the city/port interface.
The policy of the editors has been to encourage each participant to draw upon his own
research experience in the context of a particular problem, a specific area of reference or a
selected technique or method of inquiry; and to concentrate attention specifically upon
vi Preface
inter-relationships between port functions and urban problems, upon systematic themes and
methodological issues, and upon interlinkages between industrial cityports and problems
of regional development. No attempt has been made to provide a systematic coverage of
the problems of cityport industrialization; rather, the essays presented here should be seen
as bringing together a series of analyses and illustrations of problems of widespread interest
and application within the chosen field. Methods used vary from historical analysis to
model-building; problems surveyed include environmental constraints and socio-political
problems; and whilst Anglo-French comparisons remain a central theme of the volume,
examples and illustrations are drawn from a wide range of points around the globe.
The support of the Social Science Research Council for the seminar is appreciated and
gratefully acknowledged; additional support was given by the British Council, by the Centre
National de la Recherche Scientifique, and by the University of Southampton. It is a
pleasure also to record our gratitude to the contributors for their full co-operation in the
preparation of this volume, and to the large number of authorities and individuals in ports
and cities around the world without whose assistance the research on which these essays
are based could not have been accomplished. The maps and diagrams were prepared, with
customary skill and patience, in the Cartographic Unit of the University of Southampton,
under the direction of Mr A. S. Burn. We also record our appreciation of assistance given
with the translation of several chapters from French into English by Dr J. Chapman, Miss
E. Frangakis, Mr J. Hughes, Dr M. S. Husain, Mrs P. Pinder and Dr J. N. Tuppen; and of
help with the typing and retyping of successive drafts given by Mrs N. Bradshaw, Mrs R.
Flint, Miss S. Henty and Mrs J. Hughes.
