Day 1 - 25 March
Session: Airport Cities and Transport Connections

17:00 - 17:30 - Panel Discussion: Land-use compatibility at airports
Synopsis: To implement effective land-use planning and control measures around airports, it is necessary to identify specific planning boundaries. These boundaries define the airport's environs for land-use planning purposes, and its cohesive existence with its adjoining neighbours. It is essential that airport owners, elected officials, land-use planners and developers understand the components of an effective compatible airport land-use plan. Especially with the development of aerotroplis, land-use compatibility is not only important for safety and noise reduction, but also for prudent planning and optimum use of land for economic viability. This is a panel discussion consisting of three subject matter experts. Under discussion will be: the importance of land-use compatibility at airports, tools for ensuring compatibility, examples and case studies.

16:40 - 17:00 - Best practices in spatial planning in airport regions
Synopsis: The ARC, with its more than 30 members throughout Europe (public authorities with airports on their territories or affecting their territories) has established a series of good practices when dealing with spatial planning in relation to the airport presence. The talk will focus on a short synthesis of these practices and how we identified them. What proved successful and under what conditions? Are certain areas more likely to attract investments, are some neighbours impossible to make happy and should the spatial planners and airport planners talk more?
