Ports and Cities

In his workshop at Politecnico di Milano on April 22 Marco d’Eramo will try to link different maritime commodities’ transportation systems to different morphologies of the seaside cities.

Since long time urban research highlighted the links between human transportation systems and urban structures: for instance, on one side the European banlieues have been shaped by the early XIX century’s public transportation systems (trains, streetcars, trolleys and underground), and on the other side the American suburbs would be unthinkable without the car’s civilization.

But a comparable amount of analysis has not been devoted to the spatial effects of the commodities’ transportation technology. In this seminar “Ports and Cities in the Age of Box Capitalism”, Marco d’Eramo will try to link different maritime commodities’ transportation systems to different morphologies of the seaside cities, and look at the structural transformations of the urban geography induced by the container’s revolution.
