I made this video to provide a brief overview of my PhD research topic at the University of Southampton.
Ports are at the forefront of many of the key issues of our times, such as urbanisation, globalisation and sustainability. It is therefore of great importance that ports are able to operate more effectively in the future, whilst reducing detrimental impacts to the environments around them. Due to the close proximity of port areas to cities, tensions have developed in relation to issues such as pollution, energy usage and traffic congestion. This project aims to identify the separate objectives of ports and cities. This will hopefully identify which areas create tension and which areas can be aligned, leading to more cooperative relations.

This paper aims to provide a framework for the project going forward.
