TAKE THE PORTS!
Patrick Bond & Ana Garcia on Global South Export Hubs - March 30 - NYC
From Hong Kong to Mumbai to Durban to Rio de Janeiro, the mega-cities
of the global South are in flux. Whether it’s real estate developments
around the World Cup and the Olympic Games in Rio or a massive
port-petrochemical expansion in Durban, nation-states, municipalities,
and private capital are pushing grand projects to reshape the urban
geography. The justifications for these projects are dubious. The
export-oriented growth that drove these economies for decades has
sputtered and stalled with no guarantee that it will return. The
benefits of these projects may turn out to be illusory, but the costs in
terms of displaced communities, environmental damage, and public debt
are very real.
