Summary/Abstract: The global transport systems were much improved from the end of the 1960s, through density and network development. In the contemporary post-Fordist production system the production fragmentation and the strict following of the just in time principle led to the rapid growth of transports at international level. This reality nurtured the need for proficient logistics, which took place apart from the historical waterfronts sites. With this change, the urban waterfront no longer realize the interface with the port-city in a direct way, but in a symbolic one.
