From Airport City to Airport Region?
1st International Colloquium on Airports and Spatial Development, University of Karlsruhe
9.-10. July 2009

Airports have undergone a development from pure infrastructural nodes to multifunctional service locations. This instance has put airports on the agenda of different research disciplines. The colloquium therefore wants to bring together experts dealing with the theme airports and spatial development, but from different focuses and views. Disciplines especially addressed in the sessions are: Urban and Regional Studies, Political Science, Geography, Sociology, Regional and National Economics, Mechanical and Civil Engineering and also Computer Sciences.
Also municipalities, airport management and regional planning institutions are invited to give insight into their current practical approaches regarding the changing function of airports.
We are grateful that the event is made possible by funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG).
