Singapore's urban planning agency interviews John Kasarda on the aerotropolis concept and how it is being applied by Singapore Changi Airport and its surrounding region.
The aerotropolis model is being widely adopted throughout China with more than 100 of its airports and their surrounding areas applying its principles. Leading the way is the Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone whose remarkable achievements since 2013 in industrial investment, economic output, and aviation-linked trade have earned the reputation as China's Aerotropolis.
The airport as the heart of a city. That is the proposal of John D. Kasarda, one of the most prestigious voices in the design of international air terminals, to take infrastructure projects to the next level: highly competitive economic zones that trigger unprecedented urban and commercial development.
Norway’s Oslo Airport soon won’t be just an airport; it will be a city, too. And some of the inspiration for the concept can be traced to North Carolina.
The aerotropolis model has been successfully implemented in numerous airport areas. Airport-linked developments in Amsterdam, Incheon in South Korea, Ekurhuleni (Johannesburg), and Helsinki are described.
Aviation has changed business, especially when it comes to time-critical goods. Now it is changing how we live, as cities evolve around aviation hubs.
Dallas Fort-Worth Airport and its outlying area have evolved into a major aerotropolis over the past three decades. This article highlights its development and urban economic impact.
Aerotropolis master plans to date have consisted mainly of elaborations of proposed commercial land use and urban design renderings along with recommendations for improved airport region surface transportation infrastructure. Much less attention has been given to the strategic, economic, and real estate investment issues that determine whether proposed aerotropolis commercial development would actually occur.
We used to build airports far away from cities and residential areas. Now new cities and wealthy residential communities are forming around outlying airports.
