The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Location and Global Network Structure of Maritime Advanced Producer Services (2011, background): “There is, however, recognition that port–city relationships still exist through more sophisticated—albeit less visible—forms within the tertiary sector (O’Connor, 1989; Slack, 1989; Ducruet and Lee, 2006; Jacobs et al., 2010).”
Spatial Science and Network Science: Review and Outcomes of a Complex Relationship (2014, background): “…in geography has witnessed increasing importance in many discussions on global production networks, commodity, value, and supply chains, corporate networks, but from the perspective of actors, strategies, and territorial contexts rather than analyzing network topologies per s (Jacobs et al., 2010).”
Why are maritime ports (still) urban, and why should policy-makers care? (2012, background): “An historical example is the co-evolution between port and shipping activity and advanced business services (finance, insurance brokerage and maritime law) that occurred in some port cities in the seventeenth century [18].”
The Competitiveness of Global Port-Cities: Synthesis Report (2013, background): “…in these sectors are more closely following global cities hierarchies than port hierarchies, as indicated for example by relatively strong positions of non-port-cities such as Paris and Madrid, although the high ranks of Rotterdam and Hamburg present the exceptions to the rule (Jacobs et al. 2010).”
