Hustle and Bustle

The Vibrant Cultures of Port Cities

Series: 

Hustle and Bustle explores the movements, sites, sounds, and smells unique to port cities, and to the constant activity associated with the shipping and trade, migration, and transport that characterizes the spaces of port cities during day and night. Detailed case studies with a focus on European examples, from multidisciplinary perspectives, provide new approaches to reading port cities. The authors explore perspectives from planning to understand these unique conditions of port cities and their spatial, social and cultural conditions, and to inform new policies, plans, designs that acknowledge both the specific conditions of transshipment and associated nuisances of sound and smell, and of air and water pollution.

Contributors are: Vincent Baptist, Robert Bartłomiejski, Tianchen Dai, Carola Hein, Sławomir Iwasiów, Karolina Izdebska, Maciej Kowalewski, Urszula Kozłowska, Paul van de Laar, Beatrice Moretti, Nick Osbaldiston, Manuel Pacheco Coelho, Ewa Rewers, Dirk Schubert, Christoph Strupp, and Enrico Tommarchi.
