Abstract:

This research project determined how airports could function as connected activity centers. The current state of policy is to treat airports as secluded from the rest of the metropolitan area and only engage in reactive planning in response to specific threats or crises. To seek out other models of airport development, a combination of literature reviews and case studies was used to examine airports already functioning as connected activity centers. The literature reviews suggest that there has been substantial research covering on-airport development, while research on integration with surrounding land uses is focused on ‘airport cities’ and ‘Aerotropolis’ concepts. A literature review on airport economic development found a strong relationship between economic growth and air transport, but with uncertain causality, and secondly that most airport cities emerge as part of urban expansion, rather than due to independent effects. Six case studies provide detailed analysis of specific hub, commercial service, and general aviation airports. Scenarios based on the case studies include airports as freight hubs, airports as airport cities, and airports as airport resorts. The central finding is that creating airports as connected activity centers requires more coordination between airports, transportation, and airport-adjacent land-use planning.
