Aerotropolis

Aerotropolis

An aerotropolis (pl. "aerotropolises" or "aerotropoli") is a new type of urban form comprising aviation-intensive businesses and related enterprises extending up to 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) outward from major airports.

It is similar in form and function to a traditional metropolis, which contains a central city core and its commuter-linked suburbs. An aerotropolis has an airport city at its core and is surrounded by clusters of aviation-related enterprises.

Airports have evolved as drivers of business location and urban development in the 21st century in the same way as did highways in the 20th century, railroads in the 19th century and seaports in the 18th century, according to Dr. John D. Kasarda, the American academic who defined [ cite journal

Aerotropolises are powerful engines of local economic development, attracting air-commerce-linked businesses to the land surrounding major airports, analogous to the function of central business districts in the downtown areas of major cities.

Aerotropolises typically attract industries related to time-sensitive manufacturing, e-commerce fulfillment, telecommunications and logistics; hotels, retail outlets, entertainment complexes and exhibition centers; and offices for business people who travel frequently by air or engage in global commerce. Clusters of business parks, logistics parks, industrial parks, distribution centers, information technology complexes and wholesale merchandise marts locate around the airport and along the transportation corridors radiating from them.

Some Notable Aerotropolises

Aerotropolises may be found in varying stages of development surrounding major airports worldwide, particularly in Asia, where newer airports are being built on large tracts of open land.
