Routledge Studies in Transport Analysis

Port cities of the world are critical nodes for international trade and socio-economic development. Yet they bear several costs, of which congestion and pollution, which affect the local environment and population. In certain places, living near the port -together with related industrial and logistical activities -is synonym of adverse health outcomes, resulting in several diseases and above-average unplanned hospital admissions and mortality. Decades of port-city physical separation have not eliminated such issues, since deep-water facilities, even outside urban cores, impact local populations and reach port and non-port cities through extensive trucking flows. Specific traffic, like cruise, keep operating within dense urban environments.This book is one of the first dedicated volumes on such matters, with contributions from scholars in several continents (Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa, and Oceania). It is highly interdisciplinary, covering geography, history, economics, management sciences, regional science, sociology, public and comparative law, physics, energy and industrial engineering, urban and spatial planning, epidemiology, architecture, biology, and environmental sciences. This volume offers an overview of current environmental and health issues in port cities. It starts by presenting the mitigation and perception of port pollution. Next, it examines the health impacts of ports in a historical perspective and reviews and synthesizes the variety of existing approaches to measure the health impacts of ports and shipping. Finally, it proposes a reflection on a multi-level governance and policies.This book is a comprehensive resource for a wide readership, including academics and upper-level students interested in maritime transport, port management and sustainability, as well as those in public management, planning and governance.

The Geography of the Port of London (1957) deals with the mid-century functions of the port studied in relation to their physical setting and in the light of their historical development. An analysis of the roles of the various dock and wharf systems is followed by a discussion of the present commerce of the port, illustrated by post-war statistics. The multiple background to this activity is also presented, including a discussion of the 1950s physical condition of the River Thames and of the markets and industries associated with the port. It presents a comprehensive picture of this at-the-time greatest British seaport, considered with reference to certain principles of economic geography.

This book examines policy interventions ranging from those related to finance and tenure to building materials and processes. Urbanization is growing in both developed and developing countries. The proportion of the world’s urban population is expected to increase to about 57% by 2050, and the share of Africa's urban population is project to increase to 60% by the same year. As a result of this phenomenal growth in urban population, urbanization and urban poverty have begun to dominate the development discourse again after years of focusing on rural development.
Housing is a crucial issue for the urban poor, who are often concentrated in informal settlements that often do not have sufficient access to infrastructure, health, and education services. The urban poor overwhelmingly lack land to build their own houses or access to financing that would allow them to purchase or build homes. Furthermore, housing provision has largely fallen to central governments, and policy has largely overlooked the capacity of the urban poor—as individuals and communities—to provide housing for themselves.
This book engages these challenges and assumptions, offering insight into political, economic, environmental, and financial frameworks that can help facilitate adequate housing options. Drawing on examples from 14 case studies across sub-Saharan Africa, these contributions center the urban poor in initiatives to develop housing infrastructure, offering lessons for researchers and governments looking to address an ever-escalating housing crisis.

The old map of management is no longer valid. From the industrial revolution's efficiency models to the digital era's scale obsession, the core tenets of business leadership are facing a "Great Extinction." As AI begins to handle not just data, but judgment itself, the traditional role of the manager is being fundamentally redefined.
In AI Management: Towards the Autonomous Enterprise, Dr. Jason Yi Liu-a business scholar and seasoned CEO who has managed thousands of employees across China and North America-delivers a provocative and practical manifesto for the AI-first era. Drawing from his frontline experience deploying AI systems in the real estate industry, Liu argues that we are moving beyond "using AI tools" to "becoming an AI-driven organism."
In this book, you will discover:The Demise of Bureaucracy: Why traditional middle management is collapsing and how to rebuild a "flat-to-liquid" organizational structure.
From SaaS to LaaS: Understanding the shift from "Software as a Service" to "Labor as a Service" and what it means for your bottom line.
The Autonomous Enterprise Framework: A step-by-step guide to achieving zero marginal cost and hyper-efficiency through AI Agents.
Leading with Values: How human leaders must shift their focus from process control to visionary curation and value-based decision-making.


Whether you are a startup founder looking to disrupt the market or a corporate leader navigating a digital transformation, this book provides the "first principles" thinking required to survive and thrive. It's time to stop managing machines and start leading the future.

Known for its practical approach and real-life examples, the third edition of Practical Business Negotiation continues to equip readers with the necessary knowledge and tools to negotiate well in business. This latest edition comes with a refreshed set of case studies and addresses the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in negotiations. Designed to include non-native English speakers, it employs a clear writing style and explains key terminology for readers to operate at an international standard. Chapters guide readers on getting started and getting through the negotiation process with a sequence of actions, expectations when negotiating, planning tools, applicable language, interactions with different cultures, and completion of a negotiation. Each section of the book contains one or two key takeaways about planning, structuring, verbalizing, or understanding negotiation. With its practical focus, this book is ideal for introductory negotiation courses or postgraduate courses where students already have an industry background. An answer key and detailed teaching notes for the case simulations in Appendix II are also available as a digital download for instructors.

Contributions to Economics

The new macroeconomics is about distributions and flows, rather than points and intersections. Market frictions imply that the search for trading partners is time consuming and costly. Consequently, market participants flow between economic states, and trades occur at dispersed prices. This generates motives for continued search for better market opportunities, and for bargaining between potential trading partners. This volume takes the empirical analysis of markets with frictions to a new level by using unique merged registers from Denmark on firm accounting data, individual employee data, and international trade data to estimate empirically the relevant flow rates, dispersions, and relations among key variables of interest, including productivity, firm size, wages, exports, growth, and unemployment. The results serve to inform researchers and policy makers about the functioning of markets, justify the interpretation of dispersion and flows as equilibrium outcomes, and provide an understanding of cycles, adjustment, and potentials for public policy.

The new macroeconomics emphasizes distributions and flows rather than static points and intersections. Because market frictions make the search for trading partners time‑consuming and costly, market participants continually transition between economic states, and trades occur at dispersed prices. These frictions generate incentives for ongoing search and for bargaining between potential trading partners.This volume advances the empirical study of frictional markets by drawing on the unique&nbsp;merged Danish registers that combine firm accounting data, individual employee records, and international trade information. Using these rich data, it estimates key flow rates, dispersions, and relationships among central variables such as productivity, firm size, wages, exports, growth, and unemployment. The findings deepen our understanding of how markets function, support the interpretation of dispersion and flows as equilibrium outcomes, and offer new insights into economic cycles, adjustment dynamics, and policy design.
 This volume is dedicated to the memory of 
 Dale T. Mortensen
 . It acknowledges his pioneering contributions to the analysis of markets with search frictions and to the use of matched employer–employee data.

Boost your AI quotient for AI-ready leadership.Most leaders know that AI can deliver efficiency gains, making it a company priority in a challenging business environment. But the pace of change is outstripping their ability to adapt. More than 75% of leaders report that AI is creating challenges they have never faced before and these new challenges, anxieties and uncertainty about the future are creating a 'readiness gap'.AI-Q, your AI Quotient, is both a new metric for assessing readiness and a framework for building it. Use the AI-Q MAP (Mindset, Abilities and Practices) to: <ul> <li> assess where you are today </li> <li> identify the critical gaps, and </li> <li> build the leadership and organizational capabilities you need to ensure your AI investments deliver returns. </li> </ul>Futurist and economist Athena Peppes draws on research from leading institutions and expert interviews to offer a new approach to AI-readiness, the new critical leadership capability in the human+AI era.

This book examines postwar Italian craft and design (1948-1962) through a multidisciplinary lens, reassessing its significance today. It explores the enduring appeal of artifacts within and beyond museum contexts, emphasizing their role as dynamic tools that transcend historical value. Addressing future challenges, the book highlights their relevance in enriching society, supporting creative industries, and aligning with UNESCO’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Building on seminal exhibitions such as "Il Design Italiano Degli Anni ’50" (Milan, 1981), "Anni Cinquanta" (Milan, 2005), and "Il Modo Italiano" (Montreal-Toronto-Rovereto, 2006-2007), the book underscores the pivotal role of 1950s design in shaping Italy’s postwar renewal. It testifies to the emergence of a vibrant creative world rooted in cultural heritage and sustained by networks of artisans, manufacturers, artists, designers, and architects – each contributing to an interconnected and territorially grounded design culture. Organized into three thematic sections, it explores the uniqueness of Italian design (Section 1: On the Uniqueness of Italian Design), archival practices (Section 2: Archives for Memory and the Future), and exhibition strategies (Section 3: Made in Italy on Display Inside and Outside Museums). The book advocates for innovative strategies in data and memory sharing to enhance the understanding and appreciation of Italy’s cultural assets, ensuring their continued relevance while maintaining their connection to local identities and production practices. Drawing on case studies, experts from diverse fields – including architecture, museums, decorative arts, craft, product and interior design – examine Italian craftsmanship’s heritage and its connections to local communities. Their essays illustrate how interdisciplinary enquiries converge into a unified narrative, benefiting from modern approaches to preservation, communication, exhibition, and promotion across physical, digital, and virtual experiences. The book also addresses practical concerns for individuals, industries, archives, museums, and cultural institutions. It provides insights into best practices for presenting design artifacts, leveraging social media for engagement, and fostering partnerships to amplify the impact of cultural initiatives. Emphasizing community participation and cross-sector collaboration, it emphasizes the importance of sustaining Italy’s design legacy. Beyond academia and professional circles, the book engages a wider audience by raising public awareness of Italy’s cultural heritage and its nature for future generations. It suggests strategies for mitigating overtourism, enhancing engagement with Italy’s design heritage, and developing sustainable tourism initiatives that support local communities. By demonstrating the lasting influence of Italian craftsmanship and design, the book positions heritage as a living tradition that continues to shape contemporary life.

In an era of increasing geopolitical turmoil, this book looks at the impact of geopolitics on global supply chains and examines the role of China in East Asia's regional economic integration.It evaluates the impact of geoeconomic fragmentation along different dimensions such as trade, FDI and capital flows, and provides insights into different industries and sectors where trade and investments are increasingly being reallocated and reshuffled. The book further explores how geopolitics may accelerate the internationalisation of China's renminbi, which herald significant implications for the international monetary system. As geopolitical tensions arising from the US-China trade war continue to persist, the global semiconductor industry has also become the epicentre of US-China strategic rivalry, placing immense strain on its fragmented, global value chain. This book analyses the implications of this intensifying technological rivalry for East Asia, including the ASEAN economies.This book will be of interest to scholars and students of Asian economics, international trade, and geoeconomics. Policymakers searching for insight into Asian trade and financial markets may also find this book useful.
