"Port Cities offers a far richer perspective on the subject of port city development than many other books. Indeed, for those familiar with the large body of literature that covers the fall and rise of the urban waterfront since the advent of the shipping container, this book will come as a breath of fresh air." – Journal of the American Planning Association
"...as [Port Cities] deals with various geographies, the articles in the collection examine a long time span that enables the reader to see the historical continuities in the port cities it describes. In short, it deliberately exemplifies the dynamic, multi-scaled, and inter-connected port cityscapes created by historical and present-day international maritime networks." - New Perspectives on Turkey
"...a well-documented and illustrated set of chapters that takes the reader literally around the world" - Journal of Urban History
