Establishing Shipping Service Complex Standard Framework: Experience from Shanghai

Abstract

This paper introduced the experience of Shanghai in building the waterfront urban complex with industrial characteristics. In order to ensure the logic and scientific rationality, this paper developed the standard system on the concept of system engineering, based on which a three-dimensional space was proposed for the Shanghai Shipping Service Complex (SSC). Fundamental elements such as technology, management, economy and environment are analyzed and further classified, thus ensuring the systematicness and scientificity of the standard. The framework of standard system was then established through further elaborating the initial structure with four aspects as shipping service, building technology, environment friendly and sustainable management.Contribution/Originality: This paper is a pioneer research in the standard establishment for urban complex.The primary contribution is proposing a framework and design logic in forming the standard system of the complex, providing reference for similar waterfront reconstruction projects.Huangpu River was busy for transport services, with terminals, warehouses and factories spread all over the riverside areas. However, with the expansion of the city scale, the old port area has been unable to adapt to the needs of urban development. Since 2012, the Shanghai Municipal Government has issued the "12th and 13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Huangpu River" so as to promote the reconstruction of old port area.On the other side, Shanghai has been preparing to be the international shipping center for a long time. In order to further strengthen its function for the shipping center, the North Bund, as a traditional shipping service agglomeration area, firmly grasps such an opportunity of function transformation, relying on its location advantages and industry foundation.

Towards Crises Prevention: Factors Affecting Lending Behaviour

“…They have applied agent based computational economics model indicating that there exists significant association between quantitative easing and level of lending in UK. In addition authors like (Behr, Norden, & Noth, 2013;Ge, et al, 2018;George & Georgios, 2017;Guirguis, 2018;Włodarczyk et al, 2019) explore the financial constraints for private business firms and behavior of bank lending. Some other authors also show their significant interest towards the bank lending & country factors (Barrell & Nahhas, 2019), local and global bank lending (Vause & von Peter, 2011), learning through lending by banks (Botsch & Vanasco, 2019;Cohen, 1983;Darmouni & Sutherland, 2018;Jones, 2007;Koford & Tschoegl, 1999;Malekipirbazari & Aksakalli, 2015;Modarres, Ibrahim, Louie, & Paisley, 2018), quality of capital, bank lending and financial crisis (Cowling, Marlow, & Liu, 2019;Illes, Lombardi, & Mizen, 2015;Košak, Li, Lončarski, & Marinč, 2015;Puddu & Waelchli, 2015), crowding out, political interference and bank lending (Kumar, 2019;Gyebi et al, 2013;Handa, 2018;Chang'ach, 2018).…”
