Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inland container port is an intermodal terminal facility that handles containerized shipments at a site away from a seaport(s). Such facility is typically linked to a deep water port by highways and rail, and operates as a container transfer point between different transportation modes. The development of inland ports has been a growing trend in the United States over the past 25 years.Since the early 2000s, the development of an inland port has been viewed as a long-term solution to the congestion and pollution problems that exist at the San Pedro Bay port complex (SPB), which is home to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. With the anticipated growth in international trade and the rise of mega-ships, the container volumes transiting through SPB ports will continue to grow. The sudden volume imbalance caused by the COVID crisis has shown that the bottlenecks in processing and routing cargo at these ports can grow uncontrollably, lending urgency to the persistent need for inland ports near SPB ports.A number of comprehensive feasibility studies have identified potential inland port locations and their associated regional costs and benefits. Despite the widely acknowledged need to develop inland ports to serve the SPB port complex, as well as financial incentives and large capital expenditures by a number of municipalities and public agencies, the development of such facilities has been generally lagging. Indeed, relative to other major U.S. seaport gateways, there are fewer inland ports serving the West Coast ports.It is generally accepted that strategically placed and efficiently operated inland ports can result in significant efficiency gains for the U.S. logistics system. The purpose of the present study is to assess the prospects and pinpoint the impediments to the creation of inland facilities suitable to the SPB port complex. In order to accomplish this task, we undertake the following analysis:• Identify existing and planned inland ports, including those in neighboring states, their development stage, and their potential role in the SPB logistics infrastructure.• Relying on previous feasibility studies and input from the SPB ports' stakeholders, we catalog the economic and institutional impediments to the development of inland facilities to serve these ports.• A large portion of the trade volume moving through the SPB ports consists of containerized agricultural exports. We assess the role of existing and planned inland ports in facilitating the growing U.S. containerized agricultural trade.

This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities have experienced an unprecedented rate of growth in the last decade. More than half the world's population lives in urban areas, with the U.S. percentage at 80 percent. Cities have captured more than 80 percent of the globe's economic activity and offered social mobility and economic prosperity to millions by clustering creative, innovative, and educated individuals and organizations. Clustering populations, however, can compound both positive and negative conditions, with many modern urban areas experiencing growing inequality, debility, and environmental degradation. The spread and continued growth of urban areas presents a number of concerns for a sustainable future, particularly if cities cannot adequately address the rise of poverty, hunger, resource consumption, and biodiversity loss in their borders. Intended as a comparative illustration of the types of urban sustainability pathways and subsequent lessons learned existing in urban areas, this study examines specific examples that cut across geographies and scales and that feature a range of urban sustainability challenges and opportunities for collaborative learning across metropolitan regions. It focuses on nine cities across the United States and Canada (Los Angeles, CA, New York City, NY, Philadelphia, PA, Pittsburgh, PA, Grand Rapids, MI, Flint, MI, Cedar Rapids, IA, Chattanooga, TN, and Vancouver, Canada), chosen to represent a variety of metropolitan regions, with consideration given to city size, proximity to coastal and other waterways, susceptibility to hazards, primary industry, and several other factors.
