Development dynamics of port-cities interface in the Arab Middle Eastern world - The case of Dubai global hub port-city

Indian Smart City Ranking Model

“…And in addition to registering the key highlights of the information [26], Ruimin Li et al [27], An evaluation of the significant transport-related files built up by a few offices was the primary extent of the examination. The investigation additionally enhanced a list framework [28] for transportation frameworks in smart networks focused on huge information. Six classifications were proposed for an arrangement of pointers: transport structure, movement data benefit, activity effectiveness, movement security, vitality and contamination diminishment, and social consideration.…”

Transport Infrastructure and Logistics in the Making of Dubai Inc.

“…Its seaports and airport were cornerstones of its development trajectory. Dubai's three ports were built around the time the city-state became independent: Port Rashid in 1967, Port Hamriya in 1975 and, lastly, Jebel Ali in 1979 (Ramos, 2010;Akhavan, 2017).

This article aims to contribute to this scant literature by tracing the impact of Dubai's state‐owned conglomerates and labour regime on the emergence of the city as a global trade hub.…”

Yet within the literature on Dubai, only a few studies have addressed the impact of port infrastructure and logistics on wider patterns of capital accumulation (Jacobs and Hall, 2007;Keshavarzian, 2010;Ramos, 2010;Akhavan, 2017). This article aims to contribute to this scant literature by tracing the impact of Dubai's state-owned conglomerates and labour regime on the emergence of the city as a global trade hub.…”

Review of “The Chinese Belt and Road Initiative”: Indonesia-China Cooperation and Future Opportunities for Indonesia’s Port Cities Development

“…Ports are known as the economic catalysts for the region they serve; the agglomeration of services and manufacturing takes place in ports and generates socio-economic benefits (Warf and Cox, 1989;Pettit and Beresford, 2009;Zhang et al, 2009;Danielis and Gregori, 2013). In fact, in most Asian cities, the port has been the economic backbone, and newly constructed ports integrated with ancillary infrastructures have played a major role in boosting economic growth (Akhavan, 2017).…”
