Abstract

This paper examines the links between the development of harbour facilities and planned towns, especially in the head port area of Carlisle in North West England. Largely based on documentary research and field observation it examines the development of Whitehaven and other Atlantic ports it influenced in Cumberland, Westmorland and north Lancashire. It examines these developments in their international context and shows how they were initiated by local landowners to maximise the output of their estates and to enhance their personal prestige. Beginning in the seventeenth century the paper demonstrates how this tradition of town and harbour foundation continued on into the nineteenth century when it was adopted by corporate concerns, especially railway companies. The paper concludes by highlighting how harbour developments associated with town planning helped to urbanise and stimulate the economy of a previously under-developed area. Two maps identify the locations of the places discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

115. Trends, cycles and wars.

Author

Schwarz, L. D.

Abstract

The long-run trends An analysis of long-run trends in the development of the capital's economy for this period must begin with the better statistics that become available during the second decade of the eighteenth century, after the Peace of Utrecht. This appears to have inaugurated a boom; the effect of the bursting of the South Sea Bubble was relatively short-lived, and Defoe, writing during the mid 1720s, would wax eloquent on London's growth: New squares and new streets rising up every day to such a prodigy of buildings, that nothing in the world does, or ever did equal it, except old Rome in Trajan's time … We see several villages, formerly standing, as it were, in the country and at a great distance, now joined to the streets by continued buildings, and more making haste to meet in the like manner; for example Deptford … Islington … Newington … Westminster is in a fair way to shake hands with Chelsea, as St. Gyles's is with Marybone … It is … to be observed, as a particular and remarkable crisis, singular to those who write in this age, and very much to our advantage in writing, that the great and more eminent increase of buildings in, and about the city of London, and the vast extent of ground taken in, and now become streets and noble squares of houses, by which the mass, or body of the whole, is become so infinitely great, has been generally made in our time, not only within our memory, but even within a few years.

117. AUSTRALIA'S SMOKE CITY: AIR POLLUTION IN NEWCASTLE.

Abstract

The City of Newcastle has been viewed as marginal to the main narratives of Australian history, despite its contribution to industrial development being likened in importance to that of a Pittsburgh or Birmingham. A focus on visible air pollution makes it possible to reposition Newcastle as the centre of environmental innovation, largely because of the knowledge gathered by Novocastrians about smoke abatement in the Anglo-American industrial cities upon which it modelled itself. The reduction of smoke in Newcastle since World War II is attributed partially to the City Council activities, but also to the displacement of pollution elsewhere, both within Australia and to the Asian cities to which coal is exported.

Coal trade
Abstract

The size and global reach of the coal industry is unparalleled in the mining sector. Almost 500 million tonnes of coal are shipped annually around the world at a traded value of around US$15bn, but the total amount of coal mined each year amounts to some 3.8 billion tonnes. This puts the total value of annual production at around US$100bn - far higher than the next most important mined commodity, aluminium.The Coal Industry provides an in-depth overview of the international coal trade at the turn of the millennium. In 330 pages of clearly presented information, analysis and statistics, it brings the industry into sharp focus – from productivity and power plants to growth prospects and global warming.Detailed data, authoritative analysisRead this guide and find out about: - How the coal industry has developed from its earliest beginnings - How the latest processing treatments are creating a wider market for coal - The factors which will guide coal markets over the next decade - How concerns over greenhouse gas and nuclear energy could have a positive effect on coal demand - The recent growth in supply from Colombia, Indonesia and Venezuela and the changing structure of the European industry - The activities of the major producers and their chances for improved profitability - The environmental impact of coal and how it can be reducedThe Coal Industry is essential reading for industry executives, the financial community and government policy-makers, as well as providing an excellent introduction and training resource for new entrants to the industry. - A comprehensive guide to the workings of the international coal industry - Written by a world-renowned mining analyst - Examines future trends in demand, trade and pricing

Abstract

As the largest producer of coal in the world, China faces tremendous pressure to balance the expanding coal industry and water shortage. Tracking the movement of coal and the corresponding virtual water flow and analyzing their interdependencies are, therefore, essential for the synergetic management of the two resources. In this study, a novel assessment model that combines the concepts of water footprint and virtual water was proposed to quantify the virtual water flow associated with interprovincial coal transfer in China. The operating data of all coal mines and interprovincial coal trade data across the country in 2016 were incorporated into the analysis. It is estimated that there is considerable variation in the water consumption intensities of coal production and virtual water intensities of coal transfer among the provinces. A major part of the water footprint of coal production for China amounting to 4984 million m3 is concentrated in water-stressed north China; interprovincial coal trade involves the transfer of 2373 million m3 of water in virtual form, largely from water-scarce provinces to water-rich ones. With the expansion of the coal industry, the virtual water flow is expected to become 2669 million m3 by 2020, which will further exacerbate the spatial imbalance in water resources. However, virtual water flow can be reduced through optimizing coal transfer and improving water conservation by 458 million m3 and 281 million m3, respectively. The results of this study provide comprehensive insights into the nexus of coal and water. Suggestions regarding relieving the pressure on water for coal production in water-scarce provinces and rectifying the imbalance in virtual water flow due to the interprovincial coal trade are proposed to provide inputs for managers to optimize water quotas, formulate compensation mechanisms, and develop sustainable development policies. • A model framework linking water footprint and virtual water is proposed. • Variations in water consumption in coal production at provincial level presented. • Variations in virtual water of coal transfer at provincial level are presented. • The coal trade aggravates the regional imbalances in water resources in China. • Improving coal supply pattern and water conservation resolve water issues of coal.
