Conclusion

Abstract

Port cities harbour the collective inheritance of old global ages. Dockers unload sugar, tobacco, crude oil, and chicken around the world, carrying on the collective memory and traditions of past generations in a new global era of super-containers and weak trade unions. Western countries ship coal to China, petrochemical factories spew smoke along industrial waterfronts, and seafarers are abandoned by negligent shipowners. Grand merchant buildings and colonial plantation homes line waterfronts, weather-worn but still standing tall. New developments take root on derelict docks: museums, casinos, shopping malls. Deep water container ports extend beyond urban edges. Vast container ships set sail for distant shores, floating factories on the sea.
