Introduction: what is airport urbanism? -- Parallel lines -- Transborder infrastructure -- Special zones -- Cheap tickets -- Conclusion: mobility, migration, and the future Asian city.
"A really smart & accessible look at how everyday practices play out in the architecture of and around airports in Asia. Looks at how the recent rise of air mobility is fueled by and also fuels the current Asia economic boom. Not just looking at airports but also the informal, chaotic-seeming transportation systems that have evolved to service them"-- Provided by publisher.
