“…Although planners discussed possibilities as early as the late 1920s (Le Corbusier, 1929; Hubbard et al , 1930; Neutra, 1930) and social scientists (Ogburn, 1946; Taafe, 1952) revisited the issues a few decades later, much less attention has been devoted to the intrametropolitan spatial—land use and employment—impacts of commercial aviation. More recently, the emergence of airport cities which are centred on the passenger and cargo terminals of major airports, but which may extend beyond the airport fence, have been hypothesised (Conway and Liston, 1976; Conway, 1980, 1993; Güller and Güller, 2001; Kasarda and Lindsay, 2011; van Wijk, 2007).…”

As air transport for leisure trips, business travel and goods shipment increased rapidly over the past several decades, the emergence of airport cities has been hypothesised. Busy commercial airports may be emerging as central transport nodes in large metropolitan areas, much as ports and rail terminals were in the past, anchoring employment servicing passengers, facilitating frequent travellers and providing a spatial focus for unrelated firms. An analysis of small-area employment data for the areas surrounding 25 major US airports and the related central cities reveals the concentration of employment within 2.5 miles of these airports to be substantial—approximately half that within 2.5 miles of the central point of the corresponding CBDs—and growing. The analysis refocuses a question about the nature of spatial differentiation within metropolitan regions supporting multiple employment nodes.

“…The city is based on three main concepts, which are zoning, sterility, and community. Drawing on the concepts of the Garden City (Howard, 1965, 2003) and the City of Tomorrow (Le Corbusier, 1971), Cyberjaya is designed with the idea of providing balance in city life.…”

This research concerns the Malaysian Multimedia Super Corridor project. Part of the project is a construction of a future intelligent city named Cyberjaya. This is a utopian city. The dream encompasses constructing working and living spaces for information communication technology professionals and experts from all over the world. Based on an ethnographic approach, this article seeks to explore what happens when utopian ideas are implemented. That is, rather than testing whether or not the dream has become true, the authors investigate the “materiality” of dreamwork in the development of a “planned city.” They show that the utopian globalized information communication technology city is built on the principles of zoning, sterility, and security. These principles are at the core of engineering a global community of knowledge workers. The authors argue that the ordering of this particular version of utopia—discursively anchored in a specific hybridization of (hyper)modernity, Malaysian culture, and Islam—has resulted in a proliferation of “non-places” that inhibit binding associations and thus prevent the development of a sense of “belonging.”
