“…Parenthetically, airline tickets now relay magnitude of carbon footprint in trans-Atlantic passenger flights. For a sustainability assessment of a futuristic concept of urban form anchored by a “globally networked economy's airport”—the aerotropolis—see Banai (2017) . Air transportation's contribution to global climate change remains awaiting the development of technologies that economically sequester atmospheric carbon.…”

The emergence of the coronavirus pandemic motivated this paper, which revisits the nexus of public health and the city, itself a main source of a pandemic which similarly threatens the lives and properties of the world population gradually one glacier at a time: climate change. We argue that pandemics expose both the vulnerability and resilience of the urban system expansively, from rooftop to the region, but also serve as change agents for the planning of resilient cities and regions globally. The discussion of the urban system and the pandemic is comparative, with the recent coronavirus and climate change, a persistent, long-lasting pandemic. The historical and critical review and synthesis of the durable concepts of the urban system at the kernel of the theories and practices of urbanism is highlighted by place matters, cyberspace, density, access, and the city-region. We note the implications for reconfiguring the resilient urban system of the future effectively with pandemic as change agent and the comprehensive plan and its regulatory zoning ordinance as implementation tool.

“…Sustainable development is measured based on there is or not a potential utilization of the region with integrated and sustainable land use. This criterion is used by : Wijk [6]; Kelly and Baker [9]; Keast et al [13]; Freestone [14]; Hovee and Yosick [15]; Graham [22]; Poungias [8]; Stevens, Baker, and Freestone [23]; Walker [24]; Yin [5]; Peneda et al [18]; Zhou [4]; Callanan [11]; Krylova [12]; Banai [25]. Government support is measured based on there are or not plans for the development of airports and surrounding areas that are included in strategic plans, regulations and local policies.…”

Nowadays, an airport is no only a place for passengers to come and go, but it plays a significant role in developing and driving the local economy. Realize or not, there will be urban areas that offer connectivity at the airport (aerotropolis), and each airport has different aerotropolis potential. This study aims to analyze changes occurring around Kualanamu International Airport during the pre-construction and post-construction of the airport in 2007 and 2013. Six of the seven criteria of the establishment of aerotropolis show positive results, including air traffic, connectivity, sustainable development, economic income, government support, and Demographics. Significant growth was seen in the added value of the industry, the size of the industrial area, and the increase in GDP per capita. The added value of the industry has an average growth of 99.72% per year from the previous only 1.4% per year, the total area of the industry increased to 780 hectares from the previous only 200 hectares, and the GRDP also more than doubled. The only criterion that has not shown a positive potential is the status of ownership and management by the private sector because until now there has been no partnership in managing Kualanamu International Airport. To realize the development of the concept of aerotropolis in this region, the role of government and stakeholders is needed, both for policies related to aerotopolis development, public-private partnership discourse, the form of partnership, the concession period, and its contribution to the area around the airport.

“…These research directions can be divided into two major paths. The first, space planning, mainly studies the urban spatial structure layout and development model for the peripheral areas of airports such as the aerotropolis, airport cities, and airport economic zones; this discourse includes traffic, urban types, and functional divisions, regarding airport cities or the aerotropolis as a future urban form with sustainable development potential (Lindsay 2006; Guan 2008; Schaafsma 2009; Banai 2016). The second path mainly studies the urban industrial economy and operational mechanisms at the peripheral areas of airports, including the economic models, industrial analysis, and the introduction of industrial planning, resulting in a multivalent discourse on the ways that airports and economy interact (Connor 1995; Debbage 1999; David and Ashish 2002; Cao, Xi, and Lee 2009).…”

The study explored both the development policy of regional industry and the aerotropolis as an empirical object. In planning an aerotropolis, governments should account for both regional and industrial characteristics to establish appropriate policies for promoting industrial development that maximizes the benefits of invested resources. In this study, a composite multicriteria decision-making method was used to filter the optimal aerotropolis industry evaluation index through the fuzzy Delphi method. Subsequently, the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory–based analytic network process was used to obtain the influence relations and weights between the indexes to establish an optimal industry plan. Satisfaction evaluation was then used to calculate the performance values of the programs and discover the optimal industries for the city to provide the government with a policy reference. This study found that the technical environment, product and industry networks, and basic environment were the most important aspects of the Taoyuan Aerotropolis. Aviation linkage and logistics services had the highest performance among industries, identifying them as the most suitable supplementary developments to the aviation industry.
