Airports are becoming new dynamic centers of economic activity, they
have incorporated several commercial services and businesses, both inside
passenger terminals and on their landside areas. In this process, they have taken
on many features of metropolitan central business districts and established
themselves as new regional development poles. Different concepts to address
this type of developments can be found in the literature; this research will
address the concepts of ”airport city”, “airport corridor”, and “Aerotropolis”.
