GLOBAL AIRPORT CITIES I>
Publisher, Alex Kirby, looks forward to the Airport Cities World Conference and Exhibition (ACE) in Memphis.
am delighted that Memphis International Airport, the very heart and soul of ‘America’s Aerotropolis’, is hosting this year’s ACE, providing as it does one of the best examples of this type of strategic regional economic development initiative.
Uniquely, Memphis’ Aerotropolis is not restricted by state boundaries, as it stretches across Shelby County, Tennessee, northern DeSoto and Tunica counties in Mississippi and western Crittenden County in Arkansas. The FedEx headquarters are
located in Memphis and the airport is the hub of the company’s global distribution and logistics services business. Memphis thus provides an excellent example of how the aerotropolis business model is applicable to a region served by a medium-sized hub airport where distribution and logistics act as the main driver for sustainable economic development. Arnold Perl, chairman of the
Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority and Larry Cox, its president and CEO, are interviewed in our lead article, in which they share some insights into the secrets of their successes to date and illustrate the type of developments we can expect to see at this regional economic engine in the future. Despite the on-going economic challenges that everyone involved in the aviation business faces, the articles in this issue of Global Airport Cities magazine generally support our host’s optimism and that of the other airports, investors and service providers featured. So what does this issue have in
store? Well, in addition to Memphis, we take you on a global tour reporting the progress of airport cities in
India, Australia, Malaysia and Indianapolis.
In other features we look at the major trends in global cargo, the importance of partnerships between airports, public and private companies to establish an aerotropolis, an insight into the US airport real estate market and the latest airport shopping mall developments. On March 1, 2011, Dr John D
Kasarda’s latest publication Aerotropolis: The Way We’ll Live Next was launched in New York to critical acclaim. Co-authored with Greg Lindsay, this book is essential, informative and enjoyable reading and will greatly enhance your understanding of the evolution of airport cities and aerotropoli.
See you in Memphis!
