Can a world-class aerotropolis be developed in less than 10 years providing the most modern aviation-oriented manufacturing, logistics and information-based business services? In Zhengzhou, the answer is Yes.
Today's airports are powerful business magnets and metropolitan region economic accelerators. Functioning much like central train stations of our urban past, they increasingly attract and catalyse business activity, employment and commercial development around and outward from them.
Airport city and aerotropolis development has been highly active in numerous Asian locations beyond China.
Other world regions are also moving forward. Western Europe has built on its early airport city successes, while the Americas awoke from aerotropolis slumber with major projects, as have Africa and the Middle East.
In the US, six gateway airports drive airport city and aerotropolis development. Two aerotropolis projects are underway in South Africa’s Johannesburg and Durban regions. Numerous Middle East countries have stated ambitions to develop airport cities at their primary air gateways and aerotropolises around them
