“…Early models were primarily focused on spatial analysis, such as the "main street" model of Taaffe et al (1963) and Bird's (1963) "Anyport" model, which were developed along similar lines by Rimmer (1967) and Hoyle (1968). Hayuth (1981) developed the concept of dominant ports or load centres that increase their inland penetration and hinterland capture, and Barke (1986) produced a similar model, with an additional focus on decentralisation, whereby some port activities are moved from the port to less congested areas.…”

“…From the beginning of concentration studies in the late 1960s, researchers studied the theories of port growth, examining geographical coverage, concepts, and methods. Rimmer (1967a and1967b) found that the inter-port distribution of traffic became more concentrated as the transport network penetrated into the hinterland from a few main ports in New Zealand and Australia. His model explains the change from scattered ports to highpriority route, port annexes through the interaction between ports, nodes, and transport networks.…”

Globalization and transport revolution, logistics integration, and the consequent expansion of port area and hinterland in the maritime industry have redefined the functional role of ports in supply chains and have generated a new pattern of freight distribution. This phenomenon again requires a new approach towards port development and related urban planning. Such changes have inevitably influenced the spatial structure of hub port cities.As existing models on spatial and functional evolution of ports and cities are mainly derived from European and American cases, this paper attempts to introduce evidence from an Asian perspective, focusing on the particular case of global hub port cities such as Hong Kong and Singapore.

This paper examines the spatial and institutional characteristics of inland port development in Latin America, through an analysis of a detailed case study of the port of Veracruz in Mexico. It explores the spatial distribution of seaports and inland ports as well as the issues of customs clearance, rail regulation, cargo security and land acquisition, before discussing conflicting models of development depending on the priorities of inland and port actors. A supplementary aim of the paper is thus to develop a conceptual model of directional development in a geographical context of an emerging economy which traditionally has suffered from the absence of integrated policy frameworks for transport and logistics, leading to a lack of infrastructure investment and several constraints on hinterland accessibility.Findings reveal that port actors (both port authorities and terminal operators) are being proactive in response to a changing transport and logistics environment, in a setting where railway regulation and cargo security play critical roles in establishing hinterland integration. Reform to customs clearance processes is ongoing to allow more effective container flow management between the port and the hinterland, but the major obstacle to implementing an efficient loop is the fragmentation of the rail sector in Mexico.
