Abstract
Das Konzept der Portuality ist in Hafenstädten seit jeher tief verwurzelt. Es bezeichnet eine territoriale Qualität, die spezifisch ist für jene Städte, die sich aus einer engen Verbindung zum eigenen Hafen heraus entwickelt haben. Im Band wird Portuality als eine besondere Voraussetzung beschrieben und die Schwelle zwischen Stadt und Hafen als symbolisches Forschungsfeld der Zukunft herausgestellt. Diese materialisiert sich entlang der Grenze zwischen Stadt und Hafen, die gleichzeitig als Akkumulator für den Durchgang dient: ein fragmentierter Raum, wo das Nebeneinander Form annimmt und dadurch erkennbar wird. Dieses Buch bringt die altbekannte Stadt-Hafen-Dichotomie auf den aktuellen Stand und entwirft eine neue Vorstellung von der Hafenstadt als forma urbis, beeinflusst von sich rasant wandelnden Prozessen und von jenen Faktoren, die ihr territoriales Palimpsest mit sich bringt.
Portuality is a concept that has long been rooted in several urban centers. It denotes a territorial quality specific to those cities and developed through strong relationships with their own port. Beyond the Port City recognizes portuality as a specific condition and suggests that the city-port threshold could emerge as one major symbolic field of exploration. This unique threshold materializes along the margin between the two authorities, namely in that space where the city and the port are side by side. It is marked by an administrative boundary that becomes an accumulator of transit: a fragmented space where the juxtapositions take sufficient shape to acquire a dimension and to be recognizable. This book updates the old city-port dichotomy and outlines a new vision in which the port city is a forma urbis affected by the speed of changing processes and influenced by the factors that are embodied in its territorial palimpsest.
