NEIGHBORHOODS, and otherwise
PROMOTE ECONOMIC and COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

Why could Aero city will work better in Asia than Western Nations?

Most (although not all) new Asian airports are greenfield developments, or at least in less developed
areas
Better able to master plan to adopt the Aerotropolis model, rather than a compromised Areo city
model
Less or no retrofitting, which is expensive, less effective and inevitably constrained by existing airport
development
Asias speed of current & future economic growth means that Aerotropolis fits into a context of
growth, entrepreneurship, opportunity and relatively less competition with other industry sectors
Western nations are facing relatively low growth, saturated markets benefits can take time to realise
In Asia a good idea/product can take hold very quickly speed to market is always important -
Aerotropolis can facilitate production and distribution

 Why we need Aero city in Katunayake?

It is evident that the countries like Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, turned around as
they became Asian economic miracles using Airport City concept and its vast
economic benefits.
Airports have become regional economic
accelerators of:
Providing accessibility, speed and agility to global supply
chains
Connecting business people to their customers
Serving commercial needs of millions of air passengers
and airport-area visitors annually
Creating significant employment, shopping, trading and
business destinations in their own right

As a result of that we are seeing:

Rapid commercial development around many major
airports
Airports developing a brand image of attracting
non-airport linked businesses
Strength of Airport reflect the power of the country.
