"This interdisciplinary book brings together eleven original contributions by scholars in the United Kingdom, continental Europe, America and Japan which represent innovative and important research on the relationship between cities and their hinterlands. They discuss the factors which determined the changing nature of port-hinterland relations in particular, and highlight the ways in which port-cities have interacted and intersected with their different hinterlands as a result of both in- and out-migration, cultural exchange and the wider flow of goods, services and information. Historically, maritime commerce was a powerful driving force behind urbanisation and by 1850 seaports accounted for a significant proportion of the world's great cities. Ports acted as nodal points for the flow of population and the dissemination of goods and services, but their role as growth poles also affected the economic transformation of both their hinterlands and forelands. In fact, most ports, irrespective of their size, had a series of overlapping hinterlands whose shifting importance reflected changes in trading relations (political frameworks), migration patterns, family networks, and cultural exchange. Urban historians have been criticised for being concerned primarily with self-contained processes which operate within the boundaries of individual towns and cities and as a result, the key relationships between cities and their hinterlands have often been neglected. The chapters in this work focus primarily on the determinants of port-hinterland linkages and analyse these as distinct, but interrelated, fields of interaction. Marking a significant contribution to the literature in this field, Port-Cities and their Hinterlands provides essential reading for students and scholars of the history of economics. Robert Lee was the Chaddock Professor of Economic and Social History at the University of Liverpool, UK, where he is now an Emeritus and Honorary Professor.

Les villes portuaires françaises ont connu de profonds bouleversements entre 1789 et le début du XIXe siècle. La première rupture intervient après les longues guerres de la Révolution et de l'Empire qui ruinèrent la prospérité des ports. Pourtant, un nouveau contexte économique et maritime international émerge au milieu du XIXe siècle, qui signe l'entrée des villes portuaires dans l'ère contemporaine. Les métamorphoses multiformes des ports ont marqué en profondeur les sociétés et les territoires urbains : distorsions morphologiques, transformations du travail portuaire, présence accrue de l'industrie lourde, développement du cosmopolitisme et affirmation du caractère populaire des quartiers portuaires. Les destructions de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale et une séquence inédite de mutations du transport maritime à partir des années 1950 donnent aux villes portuaires un caractère à la fois industriel et fonctionnaliste qui trouve ses limites avec la crise des années 1970-1980. La globalisation de la fin du XXe siècle ouvre une nouvelle ère pour les villes portuaires françaises, aussi riche d'opportunités que de défis majeurs à relever.
