The close connection of port, work, and everyday life gradually dissolved with industrialization, varying from countries and seaports. Seaports are paradigms of globalization: their economic fate is intimately tied to global trade, their elites are key players of globalization, and their workers and citizens register changes in ways of life and commerce. Seaports were a fascinating culmination point of the economy, society, and culture, even though the port economy is diversifying and their significance tends to be decreasing. More actors, stakeholders, and disciplines are involved in both port and city, each with independent plans: real estate developers specializing in urban waterfronts, logistics experts managing transport chains of containers, marketing professionals promoting the waterfront, specialists in urban and regional economics, and experts on environmentally sustainable redevelopment.
