The terms airport city and aerotropolis are now becoming common place in airport development strategies. But it is not as simple as just factoring aerotropolis development into long term strategy and planning and there must be clearly defined goals for any airport city or aerotropolis development with clear distinguishing process to support the two concepts.
There remain questions to be answered on these ideas:
- What are the business and economic drivers for building an aerotropolis?
- How is the aerotropolis model evolving?
- How do you integrate the critical role of surface transport operators and ICT in enhancing physical and network connectivity in an aerotropolis?
