December, 2011
Originally published in Atlantis, Dec. 2011 edition
John D. Kasarda is co-author of the new book Aerotropolis, an astonishing treatise on the metropolis of the future and the integral role of the airport. Kasarda argues “Look for yesterday's busiest train terminals and you will find today's great urban centers. Look for today's busiest airports and you will find the great urban centers of tomorrow.” In his career he has consulted with four White House administrations and advised companies such as Boeing, FedEx and Bank of America. He is a professor at the University of North Carolina's Kenan-Flagler Business School. For a rare moment when he is not in the air, Atlantis asks him about the future of the airport, the city and the implications for the Netherlands.

Airports in the 21st century are experiencing a new and distinct evolutionary stage—the "airport city." What started out in the early 1990s—a handful of European and U.S. air gateways substantially notching up their duty-free and traditional terminal retail and eateries—has become a world-wide phenomenon of airport commercial expansion and diversification. In the process, gateway airports have assumed roles few before anticipated.

For very long our airports have been deliberately planned outside city limits. One can’t say they have been neglected, but surely they were never top priority. But going by some important facts, it’s compelling to take a re-look. Consider this: 40 per cent of the value of world trade now goes by air (and this is just under 2 per cent of the total trade, by weight).

Trade, transportation, and the distribution of human activity in space are intrinsically interrelated concepts. Trade links territorially distinct communities, regions, and nations across space through economic exchanges. Trade is, thus, a specific type of social interaction, one involving both a spatial component (distance) and a relational component (exchange between sociospatial systems).

At a higher, but still quite basic level of abstraction, spatial processes and patterns serve as useful indicators of technological and organizational adaptations of human groups to their natural and social environments.
