International airports have become an inherent part of many urban
regions and key transport infrastructures for metropolitan
economies. Yet they are also a source of tensions, often associated
with the contrasting impacts of their operation. Taking the example
of Charles de Gaulle airport (CDG) in Paris, the author analyzes
the factors influencing urban development and the related spatial
strategies. Step by step, she traces the history of the airport,
examines prominent conflicts and their management by planners, and
derives broader lessons. Intended for town planners, policy makers,
and urban designers, the book makes an important contribution to
understanding the challenges and assessing the effectiveness of
planning approaches for airport regions.
