Airport cities, transport connections and regions

Day 1 – Tuesday 20 March

09.10: Airport urbanism: how can airports and cities grow together?

Prof Max Hirsh, Professor, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Airport urbanism (AU) is a new people-focused approach to designing airports, and to planning the urban districts that surround major airport hubs. Focusing on eight key drivers of success, AU leverages existing assets in the airport area to increase non-aeronautical revenue, improve the passenger experience and develop local communities. By revealing the desires of the people who use the airport on a regular basis – passengers, residents and employees – airport urbanism empowers us to see more clearly how airports and cities can grow together for mutual economic benefit.

Audience will learn:

  • How to build successful urban developments around the airport
  • How to increase non-aeronautical revenue
  • How airports and cities can grow together for mutual benefit

15:00 Airport planning vs. airport city planning

Polana Banguningsih Pramesti, Technical Director, Angkasa Pura Airports, Indonesia

Yudhaprana Sugarda, Airport Planning Group Head, Angkasa Pura Airports, Indonesia

Angkasa Pura, as one of the managing airport companies in Indonesia, is transforming the process of airport planning, where the planning of the airport city begins at the early stage of masterplanning. The study case of New Yogyakarta International Airport as a greenfield project shows that Angkasa Pura is not only developing an airport city plan within the airport boundary but also developing a plan of much greater area outside of the airport boundary, which is being jointly developed with the local government (provincial government and regional government) and supported by the central government. This phenomenon indicates that the Government of the Republic of Indonesia understands that developing an airport involves not only building the airport infrastructure but also, in the case of a greenfield project, developing a new economic growth pole and even a new self-sufficient city.

Audience will learn:

  • Airport for Tourism in Southeast Asia
  • Airport for tourism
  • Airport tourism development route
