Day 2 - 16 March
Session: Airport Cities & Transport Connections

09:05 - 09:35 - Bringing the city to the airport
Synopsis: The role of multi-modal hubs in cities is changing, as they move beyond mere terminals/interchanges to creators of growth and footfall. Within them, they develop alternative revenue streams; beyond them, they drive land use and the patterns of movement that, in turn, generate neighbourhoods. Within the genre of ‘Aerotropolis’ or ‘Aerospace City’, there is much to learn from city multi-modal hubs, to encourage and maximise the generative effects of multi-modal hubs at airports. Using built and concept schemes as examples, the history and the future of this form of development will be explored.
