The Airport as Urban Territory
A new framework for understanding how airports interact with their surrounding region. Airports are major drivers of economic development. While firmly rooted in local landscapes, they serve as vital links to global networks. However, the massive infrastructures and externalities of airports--like noise and pollution--create tensions and present considerable challenges. What does this mean for spatial planning? What factors and stakeholders are involved? How can we better plan airports and design their relationships with urban development? Singapore's Changi Airport regularly scores among the world's best from travelers' perspectives--but what about the impact on its city and surrounding region? Drawing on a decade of research focused on Singapore and its cross-border region, this book offers an analysis of Changi Airport's spatial influence at different scales and on different kinds of spaces, including rural areas, industrial and leisure zones, and the hinterlands of Singapore's shiny metropolis. It uncovers the airport's many actors, the complex networks of terrestrial linkages and interactions centered around the global hub, and the governance frameworks used to manage it. The result is a new framework for thinking about how airports interact with their territories and an illuminating exploration of territorial dependencies and their effects on everyday spaces.

The Grand Projet
Understanding the Making and Impact of Urban MegaprojectsFor English please see below Het aantal stedelijke megaprojecten – hier Grands Projets genoemd – neemt wereldwijd toe. Ze zijn in hoge mate de drijvende kracht achter stedelijke verdichting en zijn vaak bedoeld om de stadsuitbreiding naar een hoger niveau te tillen. Als zodanig kunnen Grands Projets worden gezien als manifestaties van het groeiende belang van de economische en politieke agenda’s in steden. Ze creëren een productief moment om recente stedelijke trends te onderzoeken in de wereldwijd verbonden vorm van geconcentreerde verstedelijking. Het boek verdiept zich in de adaptieve en inclusieve capaciteiten van stedelijke megaprojecten en biedt een nieuwe, alomvattende lezing van geselecteerde stedelijke megaprojecten in Azië en Europa met een vergelijkend overzicht van de belangrijkste momenten met betrekking tot hun rol in de hedendaagse stedelijke ontwikkeling. -- Urban Megaprojects – here referred to as Grands Projets – are increasing in number all over the world. They have become major drivers for urban intensification and oftentimes set out to take a city’s expansion to the next level. As such, Grands Projets can be read as manifestations of the larger economic and political agenda of their city and they offer a productive moment to investigate current urban trends in a globally connected form of concentrated urbanization. The book looks into the adaptive and inclusive capacities that urban megaprojects can offer. It provides a new and for the first time comprehensive reading of selected urban megaprojects in Asia and Europe, and a comparative view of key moments regarding their role in contemporary urban development.
