- Abstract
- The paper want to explore the major meanings of an airport. It is
a territorial infrastructure that increases the spatial accessibility and
the economic potential of a territory; in this sense, it is also a port
to boost tourism and cultural exchanges. It is also an infrastructure
bringing with it investment in other areas of mobility. Since the
sixties, finally, it has also become an architectural icon and a symbol
of urban level. Objective limitations remain; in particular for the
position, outside the city, and for the service, that can be ordered
and tidy.
The airports have an important role for the move of people. As the
international transport statistics the number of passengers in the
main airports is growing, also if has suffered the blows of the
international economic crisis.
The expansion of air passenger traffic is related with the tendency
to the specialization of travels, according to the range of movement
of persons. The actual changing economic world coincides with a
process of continuous growth of passenger flows, partly
independent from that of economic growth; the combination of
these two processes has multiplied the number of connections and
has produced new phenomena.
The transport system isn't a neutral system, also if it is sectorial; it,
rather, is linked very strongly with the territorial system in which it
operates and with the location's choices of firms and individuals.
This reflection has value for all the transport's infrastructures,
although with different degrees. In this ranking the airports are
located in a great importance position, as they can be a strategic
asset in the territorial economic growth processes, contributing
directly or indirectly to the development of local enterprises.
An airport operates whether as a supplier of infrastructure or as a
business reality in itself, operating in a highly competitive market
with an high speed of change.
Airports are an architectural and urban typology typically lacking
of physical and spatial integration with their urban context; for this
the airports have evolved into semi-autonomous spaces. For their
dimensional characteristics and for the incidence of pollutants
factors, must be placed outside the city, often at significant distances
from the same: their fundamental role in the urban structure is
expressed, therefore, in external spaces from the city.
As defined above, the airport is an urban infrastructure. But it is
other things also: it is an ordered place, because its management
requires defined actions and sequences of activities that are the
true opposite of the urban disorder. Both the structures are
complexes but the airport is a side where the hierarchical roles are
well defined, more than in other sides, and it is the side where the
authority is recognized and well accepted.
The building of new airports, or the modernization of existing
structures are a sign of the sectors' vitality and of the necessity to
offer better services to an expanding custom. But the airports have
created a lot of imagines around their presence and use. (literal)
