This book explores the relationship between cities and their
commercial airports. These vital transportation facilities are
locally owned and managed and civic leaders and boosters have made
them central to often expansive economic development dreams,
including the construction of architecturally significant
buildings. However, other metropolitan residents have paid a high
price for the expansion of air transportation, as battles over jet
aircraft noise resulted not only in quieter jet engine
technologies, but profound changes in the metropolitan landscape
with the clearance of both urban and suburban neighborhoods. And in
the wake of 9/11, the US commercial airport has emerged as the
place where Americans most fully experience the security regime
introduced after those terrorist attacks.
