“…They are promoted by, inter alia, airport authorities, developers and governments as economically and physically integrated initiatives of the airport and urban development (Schlaack 2010). Such models include airport city (Conway 1993;Kasarda 2009), aerotropolis (Kasarda 2009;Kasarda & Lindsay 2011), airport region (Schlaack 2010), airfront (Blanton 2004), global transpark (Kasarda 1998;Sit 2004), airport corridor (Schaafsma 2003, cited in Schlaack 2010, airea (Schlaack 2010), decoplex (Conway 1993), aircity, aeropolis, aeropark, aviopolis, avioport, flight forum, sky city, airpark, aero city and aeroscape.

Background: The concentration of development around airports is a topical subject on the relationship between transportation, accessibility and the distribution of land use. Notwithstanding the existing literature on the analysis of airports and surrounds, and normative models of airport-led development, extensions are required on the empirical analysis of spatial economic attributes of airports and surrounds.Objectives: Objectives of the article were twofold: firstly, to establish the economic activity mix and reasons for the location of firms on and around O.R. Tambo and Cape Town international airports; and secondly, to analyse linkages between firms on and around the two airports as well as linkages those firms have with their metropolitan, regional, national and international contexts.Method: The article focused on the South African case studies of O.R. Tambo and Cape Town international airports and used a telephone survey as the primary data collection method.Results: The article discovered that the developments around O.R. Tambo and Cape Town international airports are spatial clusters that are also linked with other airports in South Africa and beyond.Conclusion: The article extended existing knowledge by providing insights on the spatial economic characteristics of airports and surrounds. The findings can be improved upon with work on other case studies, and potentially be used as bases for extending a theoretical framework that describes and explains the spatial economic forces that drive development on and around airports.

Among other categories of literature on the relationship between airports and land use, planning models of airport-led development are becoming bandwagons hailed by the proponents as key to the future of cities. While acknowledging the insights of literature, it is argued that concerted focus is required on analysing the spatial economic evolution of airport-centric developments. The aim of this article is to explore the evolution of the airport-centric developments of Cape Town and OR Tambo international airports in South Africa. Through the use of topographical maps, aerial photography and historical literature, the evolution is traced over six decades, namely the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. The article discovers that, despite policy and planning efforts, airport-centric developments occur over fairly long time frames. It is also imperative that the planning of airports and surrounds be informed by the integration of, among others, spatial, economic, and transportation planning at different scales.Keywords: Airport-centric development, Cape Town International Airport, evolution, OR Tambo International Airport, South Africa RUIMTELIKE EKONOMIESE EVOLUSIE VAN DIE LUGHAWE-SENTRIESE ONTWIKKELINGE VAN KAAPSTAD-EN OR TAMBO-LUGHAWENS IN SUID-AFRIKALiteratuur oor die verhouding tussen lughawens en grondgebruik toon dat beplanningsmodelle oor die ontwikkeling van lughawens deur die voorstaanders van hierdie ontwikkelingsmodelle tans beskou word as die sleutel tot die toekoms van stede. Terwyl die literatuur erken word, word daar aangevoer dat daadwerklik gefokus moet word op die ontleding van die ruimtelike ekonomiese ontwikkeling van die lughawe-sentriese ontwikkelings. Die doel van hierdie artikel is om die evolusie van die lughawe-sentriese ontwikkeling van Kaapstad-en die OR Tambo-lughawes in Suid-Afrika te verken. Deur die gebruik van topografiese kaarte, lugfoto's en historiese literatuur, is die evolusie nagespoor vir ses dekades, naamlik die 1950 's, 1960's, 1970's, 1980's, 1990's en 2000's. Die ondersoek toon dat, ten spyte van beleid en beplanningspogings, lughawe-sentriese ontwikkeling oor taamlike lang tydsraamwerke voorkom. Dit is ook noodsaaklik dat die beplanning van lughawens en omgewing in kennis gestel word deur die integrasie van, onder andere, ruimtelike, ekonomiese en vervoer-beplanning op verskillende skale.Sleutelwoorde: Ewolusie, lughawe-sentriese ontwikkeling, Kaapstad internasionale lughawe, OR Tambo internasionale lughawe, Suid-Afrika PHETOHO YA MORUO WA SEBAKA SE MABAKI LE MAEMAFOFANE A MATJHABATJHABA A CAPE TOWN LE OR TAMBO AFRIKA BORWAKa hara dikarolo tse ding tsa dingolwa tse mabapi le dikamano pakeng tsa boemafofane le tshebediso ya lefatshe; dimodele tsa ditlhophiso tse itshetlehileng hodima ntshetsopele ya boemafofane, di ntse di tuma ka lebaka la batshehetsi ba ka sehloohong bokamosong ba ditoropo.

“…The release of platform territory (as opposed to land abutting the airport) for integrated hotel development is now an important strategy, as seen, for example, in Hong Kong International Airport's 1000 room Marriott hotel at their SkyCity development. This hotel is a key element in Hong Kong's Global TransPark model, where the airport acts as an important logistical centre for air cargo, telecommunications, flexible manufacturing, and logistics, particularly where the goods involved are high-value, but low weight (Kasarda 1998;Sit 2004). In this context, airport hotels will play an important role as a meeting place for the multiple agents involved in these new economic zones, which aims to integrate the Pearl River Delta with mainland China.…”

This article seeks to contribute to debates about the mobile nature of contemporary economic practice, through a discussion of some key themes in the evolution of airport hotels as business spaces. It argues that despite being emblematic of a hypermobile business elite, the nature of hotels as business spaces requires careful unpacking. The article begins by discussing the evolution of the airport hotel, charting the shift from basic lodging standards to recent developments of five star airport hotels. It then seeks to explain the locational geographies of airport hotel development, in response to these new trends. Finally, the article describes how the business traveller is conceived of and (speculatively) catered for by airport hotel operators and designers within a discourse of connectivity, before providing some counter-examples of how such claims fail to address the hotel's place within the complexity of airport spatial organization.
