Sustainable Aviation Futures
This volume brings together some of the leading names in global aviation policy research to provide a unique and ground breaking synthesis of current debates on sustainable aviation.
Planning the Impossible
International airports have become an inherent part of many urban regions and key transport infrastructures for metropolitan economies. Yet they are also a source of tensions, often associated with the contrasting impacts of their operation. Taking the example of Charles de Gaulle airport (CDG) in Paris, the author analyzes the factors influencing urban development and the related spatial strategies. Step by step, she traces the history of the airport, examines prominent conflicts and their management by planners, and derives broader lessons. Intended for town planners, policy makers, and urban designers, the book makes an important contribution to understanding the challenges and assessing the effectiveness of planning approaches for airport regions.
Airports, Cities and Regions
Since the emergence of urban systems, cities have developed in a mutually inter-dependent process of socio-economic dynamics and transportation linkages. In recent years, Airports worldwide have stepped beyond the stage of being pure infrastructure facilities while the complex dynamics that are taking place at and around international airports represent a crucial element in the post-industrial reorganisation of urban and regional systems. Airports are increasingly recognized as general urban activity centres; that is, key assets for cities and regions as economic generators and catalysts of investment in addition to being critical components of efficient city infrastructure. This book brings...

Die diskutierte Region
Die internationale Renaissance der Metropolregionen seit den 1990er-Jahren spiegelt sich auch in der Rhein-Main-Region in einer Vielfalt regionaler Kooperationen. Zwar lassen sich Teilerfolge verzeichnen, doch bestimmte Herausforderungen, wie die anhaltende Suburbanisierung, die Finanzkrise oder die alltäglichen Belange der Bürger, werden bislang nicht ausreichend berücksichtigt. Mit Blick auf die Realitäten in zahlreichen Handlungsfeldern diskutieren Experten aus Wissenschaft und Praxis über Probleme und Perspektiven regionaler Zusammenarbeit in der polyzentrischen Metropolregion Rhein-Main.
Addis Ababa Airport zwischen Globalisierung und Fragmentierung
Der Flughafen von Äthiopiens Kapitale Addis Abeba steht als Beispiel für aufstrebende Großflughäfen an der Schwelle zu global wirksamen Drehkreuzen. Er verkörpert verbindende und beschleunigende Kräfte; damit verbunden sind jedoch auch begrenzende und verlangsamende Effekte, die an die Wirkungsweise eines solchen Umschlagplatzes gekoppelt sind. Eine Reihe von Faktoren auf unterschiedlichen raum-zeitlichen Ebenen machen in ihrer Summe die Bedeutung dieses Flughafens aus. In seiner geographischen Lage positioniert er sich global als Vermittler asiatisch-afrikanischer Bewegungsströme und wird zum Einfallstor zumal für chinesische Aktivitäten in Afrika. Addis ist eine kontinentale Drehs...
The politics of airport expansion in the United Kingdom
The massive expansion of global aviation, its insatiable demand for airport capacity and its growing contribution to carbon emissions make it a critical societal problem. Alongside traditional concerns about noise and air pollution, airport politics has been connected to the problems of climate change and peak oil. Yet it is still thought to be a driver of economic growth and connectivity in an increasingly mobile world. The politics of airport expansion in the United Kingdom provides the first in-depth analysis of the protest campaigns and policymaking practices that have marked British aviation since the construction of Heathrow Airport. Grounded in documentary analysis, interviews and policy texts, it constructs and employs poststructuralist policy analysis to chart rival groups and movements seeking to shape public policy. This book will appeal to people interested in the history of aviation and airports in Britain, local campaigns and environmental protests, and the politics of climate change.
