Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the coalescence of the world economy, logistics, as a means of networking, has acquired an ever greater significance in the world over the last 25 years. Following the strong rise of commodity prices, starting from Asia - particularly China, - even the U.S. can not inhibit this essential development, because for the most part, it is precisely the result of this growth. In particular, it may be concluded that German exports, upon which Germany's economy is based, have benefited from that. Through the enlargement of the EU, Germany is even more central to the transport hub in Europe. Meanwhile, Germany is the largest foreign trade partner of the ten EU newcomers, which are for the German Economy today more important than the U.S. Hamburg in particular can and will benefit from it. As a hub of north Germany, Hamburg was able, despite many problems, to realise huge projects. Thus, for example, the ‘Altenwerder’ Container Terminal was built, and the airport expansion and modernization and the creation of its routes has gone ahead, the fourth. Elbtunneltube has been opened; and in spite of a dispute about the extension of the runway, an agreement concerning the Airbus factory in Finkenwerder has been signed . But what exactly makes Hamburg now a "World City of Logistics" and the "hub of the North "? Below, because of the large scale of these projects, as well as the limited scope of this paper, this work will just address briefly Hamburg’s harbour, and deal with the impact on the future of Hamburg as a logistical hub.

Download or read book The Port of Hamburg and the Belt and Road Initiative Chances and challenges for the logistic hub written by and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Asian studies, grade: 1,7, University of Duisburg-Essen, language: English, abstract: This paper focuses on the economic outlook of the Port of Hamburg in general and challenges and chances presented by the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) especially. Leading research question is: Is the Port of Hamburg profiting by the BRI or is it risking being left out by this century’s major development program? Hamburg is a traditional center of European-Chinese trade since 1731, when the first ship arrived from Guangdong province delivering tea, silk and porcelain.Today, 5.900 Chinese citizen are living in the Hanseatic city. More than 550 Chinese companies have their seat in Hamburg, most of them in the logistics, aerospace and energy sector. Amongst others, the stateowned China Ocean Shipping (Group) Company (COSCO), the biggest Chinese shipping company, has its European headquarter in Hamburg. Only in North Rhine Westphalia (1.100) and Hesse (700) are more Chinese companies registered. In 1986 Hamburg established a twinning agreement with Shanghai, where Hamburg operates the Hamburg Liaison Office (HLO). In 2016 a second dependence opened in Beijing. Furthermore, the north German metropolis is staging the biennial high-level conference “The Hamburg Summit: China meets Europe”, one of the most important fora of Sino-European cooperation. Economically or politically, the Port of Hamburg is the transmitter of Hamburg’s and Germany’s close ties to China and dominated the EU-China trade together with Dutch and Belgian ports for the last decades. However, changing geopolitical landscapes, namely the introduction of the BRI, challenge the former “top dog”. The Port of Hamburg has to face ongoing pressure from inner-German competitors like Duisburg and ports in the Mediterranean Sea.
Download or read book Urban Transformations Centres Peripheries and Systems written by Daniel P. O'Donoghue and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Definitions of urban entities and urban typologies are changing constantly to reflect the growing physical extent of cities and their hinterlands. These include suburbs, sprawl, edge cities, gated communities, conurbations and networks of places and such transformations cause conflict between central and peripheral areas at a range of spatial scales. This book explores the role of cities, their influence and the transformations they have undertaken in the recent past. Ways in which cities regenerate, how plans change, how they are governed and how they react to the economic realities of the day are all explored. Concepts such as polycentricity are explored to highlight the fact that cities are part of wider regions and the study of urban geography in the future needs to be cognisant of changing relationships within and between cities. Bringing together studies from around the world at different scales, from small town to megacity, this volume captures a snapshot of some of the changes in city centres, suburbs, and the wider urban region. In doing so, it provides a deeper understanding of the evolving form and function of cities and their associated peripheral regions as well as their impact on modern twenty-first century landscapes.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's global business environment, the intense competition, the changing and uncertain conditions, and the increasing customer's requirements are challenges for the companies' operational efficiency and profitability. In this context, companies highlight the importance of supply chain design and its holistic understanding in order to achieve and sustain competitive strengths. This book analyses supply chains as complex systems, whose performance is characterized by their structural configuration and emergent behaviour. The author analyses the supply chain structure and behaviour within the scope of complexity science. He focuses on supply chain complexity by means of a literature review and an empirical research, which give insights into the impact of complexity on supply chain performance. Moreover, within this book the supply chain is modelled as a complex system by considering the non-linear relationships of its geo-positioned elements. Finally, an agent based model is developed for the generic supply chain simulation, which allows assessing the impact of complexity on supply chain performance and characterizing the behaviour of supply chain designs. The materials presented in this book contribute to the understanding and management of supply chain complexity. This work complements existing complexity frameworks with a holistic analysis of complexity's impact on the performance of supply chain participants and their network. The findings of this work are relevant for researchers interested in characterizing supply chain phenomena by enabling them to model supply chain structures and to simulate their emergent behaviour. Practitioners can benefit from the provided model and simulation platform by allowing them to dynamically assess the performance of their supply chain designs and strategy definitions. By these means, they improve their decision-making and business profitability. In all, this book contributes towards the development of artificial intellig

Download or read book Sustainable Logistics written by Wolf-Rüdiger Bretzke and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-14 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently the notion of "sustainability" is used in an inflationary manner. Therefore the authors start with a definition which is stable to serve as an anchor for further research as well as for discussions among scientists, managers and politicians, ideally across different disciplines. The character of this book is purely conceptual. The argumentation is based on comparison of new and demanding requisites with existing models (process and network architectures in the field of logistics). Formerly neglected impacts on the environment will be included. Main features of a new approach will be developed which are capable to avoid these impacts and to align logistics with the requirements of sustainability. In order to make logistics sustainable large parts will have to be reinvented. The focus needs to be on decoupling transportation activities from economic growth rates.

Download or read book Toward a Coordinated and Balanced Development written by Changchun Cheng and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a comprehensive study of the strategic position of Yangtze River Economic Belt in the political and economic development of China. It is a holistic and precise qualitative and quantitative delineation of Jiangsu’s position in this belt and its development strategy, and the strategic position of Yangtze River Economic Belt in national development. It also illustrates the great significance of the initiation of Yangtze River Economic Belt for the economy, politics, environment, and integration of natural resources. There is a research of the position of Jiangsu in the construction of the nation, and the difficulties it has encountered. Coordinated and balanced development of Yangtze River Economic Belt will effectively facilitate reasonable allocation and exploitation of various resources, the implementation of other national strategies, and communication and cooperation between China and Western countries, enhancing their mutual understanding. Therefore, common readers can get some general information from different perspectives, and professionals can have a detailed understanding of different arrangements and guiding principles. It is thus suitable for different readers.Yangtze River Economic Belt runs through the three regions of China, making a vital latitudinal axis, whose coordinated and balanced development is of great strategic importance for promoting coordinated and shared development of the three regions and for the spatial balance of population, economy and the environment. The current imbalance between them, the absolute disparity in regional development, the obstruction in the flow of resource factors, the inequality in development opportunities, the incoordination between regional economic growth and the bearing capacity of resources and environment, the fragmentation of regional economic policies, all contribute to the insufficient utilization of the Golden Waterway, problems numerous. How coordinated and balanced development can be realized within this economic belt is a prominent and pressing, even a severe problem.
