Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the Harbour Improvement plans for the Port of Algoa Bay. The book is an assemblage of primary source materials including petitions from inhabitants of the Eastern Cape and correspondence between the Commissioner for Improving the Port and Harbour of Algoa Bay and the Honourable Commissioner of Public Works. The materials provide unique insight into the challenges of improving this South African port, including inadequate facilities for loading and unloading, lack of protection for ships, and the need for larger works to facilitate the increasing trade of the region. Thematic depth and ideas presented include the importance of consulting with a variety of experts when undertaking large-scale infrastructure projects and the need for careful consideration of long-term costs and benefits. Ultimately, this book is not only a valuable resource for understanding the history of port improvements in Algoa Bay but also a reminder of the importance of infrastructure development for economic growth and prosperity.
