'Throw out your old atlas. The new version is here' Walter Kirn, author of Up in the Air 'An essential guide to the 21st century'
Tom Vanderbilt, author of Traffic

From Dubai to Amsterdam, Memphis to South Korea, a new phenomenon is transforming the way we live and work: the aerotropolis.

A combination of giant airport, city and business hub, the aerotropolis will be at the heart of the next phase of globalization, offering both economic opportunity and a new way of living.

Drawing on a decade's worth of cutting-edge research, John Kasarda and Greg Lindsay offer a visionary look at how the metropolis of the future will bring us together - and how we can make the most of this new world.

'Remarkably readable . . . witty . . . . works superbly as a unique insight into the nuts-and-bolts reality of our global society'
Time Out

'Provocative . . . . a persuasive mix of data and exhaustive reporting on how the forces of global competition are re-shaping companies and cities worldwide'
Financial Times

'Convincingly puts the airport at the centre of modern urban life'
Economist

'Kasarda and Lindsay are onto something big'
Bloomberg
