European Port Cities
Disadvantaged Urban Areas in Transition

In the context of globalisation, port cities have been affected by technological and structural changes in an exemplary manner. In the past decades, traditional port areas have been subjected to a process of continuous degradation.
Port-related labour markets have declined as former port functions have moved away from the cities, leading to a devaluation of traditional port quarters and neighbourhoods. This development entails the loss of work opportunities and a devaluation of local forms of social organisation and socio-cultural identities.
