1 Policy implications of an ESPON Targeted Analysis Airports as Drivers of Economic Success in Peripheral Regions Presentation by Chloé Walot ESPON infoday, 19th June, Liège

2 ADES: 3 targeted stakeholders Jyväskylä Airport, City of Jyväskylä, Central Finland Araxos Airport, Aktion Airport, Andravida Airport, Region of Western Greece Villanova d Albenga Airport, Province of Savona, Italy

3 ADES: 3 targeted stakeholders 3 different examples of underused airports in pre-decline phase Opportunity for urban re-activation Best use and development of existing airports 3 tactics: 1. Reload 2. Recycle 3. Reuse

4 ADES: Reload strategy Improve accessibility: - Expansion of the existing airport - Increasing the number of flights - Adding new functions to neighbouring industrial and commercial activities

5 ADES: Reload strategy Relevant for remote areas (accessibility by rail/road > 3-4h)

6 ADES: Recycle Abandon the airport function in favour of: - a comprehensive recycling action - a reclaiming land from the old infrastructure - the creation of a(n) (urban) park (space) and public facilities for the city's new urban development

7 ADES: Reuse Hybridisation between: - Integrate local existing functions in the airport areas - Improve highway or rail network system to better reach a nearby airport with a good offer of scheduled flights

8 Renewal strategies Reload Recycle Reuse Optimise potentialities, new identities Renewal strategies driven by osmosis

9 Osmotic airport A place to live before a place to leave Adapted to the surrounding context and business Exchange fluxes Accomodate multiple functions Build stronger relation between the infrastructure and the surrounding territories

10 ADES: Airports Afterlife case studies Abandoned Airports > Urban development + Parks: Stapleton, Denver, CO

11 ADES: Airports Afterlife case studies München Riem, Germany

12 ADES: Airports Afterlife case studies Abandoned Airport > Urban Parks: Crissy Field, San Francisco

13 ADES: Airports Afterlife case studies Abandoned Airport > Urban Parks: Tempelhof, Berlin, Germany

14 ADES: Airports Afterlife case studies Postmodern Airports: Skavsta Airport, Sweden

15 ADES: Airports Afterlife case studies Abandoned Airports > Urban development + Parks: Stapleton, Denver, CO Abandoned Airport > Urban Parks: Crissy Field, San Francisco; Tempelhof, Berlin, Germany Postmodern Airports: Skavsta Airport, Sweden; Liege Airport, Wallonie, Hispaniola Airport, Dominican Republic Increase the availability of landscape and places in which to live

16 ADES: what next? ADES focus on: accessibility in general and airports in particular Infrastructure as reactivators Next: 1. Cooperation between different transport modes in the various regions 2. Further develop the Recycle strategy to other types of infrastructure (railways, harbours, roads)

17 Territorial cooperation 1. Bringing local stakeholders to work together Research ADES stakeholders: - Territorial Provincial Coordination Plan (Savona) - General Development Plan (Savona) - Regional Territorial Plan (Liguria Region) - Operational Programme Liguria Region Industrial Plan , Villanova d Albenga Airport - Europlane. European Union Region s Operational Project Leading to Air Transport Networking and Information Exchange. (Interreg 3C project. Liguria Region)

18 ADES: Territorial cooperation 1. Bringing local stakeholders to work together 2. Creating international network systems

19 ADES: Territorial cooperation Shared commercial policy (market segmentation) - Nice Airport: international big hug - Cannes: specialised in business aviation - Villanova d Albenga: development area for hangar, maintenance and aircrafts research activities of the 3 airports

20 ADES: Territorial cooperation Strategical positioning

21 ADES: Territorial cooperation 1. Bringing local stakeholders to work together 2. Creating international network systems 3. Connecting with local territorial services

22 Territorial cooperation Villanova d Albenga - Railway station - Piaggio Aera Industries: design, production and test mechanical aircraft parts (700 employees), main plant of this industry in Liguria (Tech cluster) - Congregation of logistic companies Liège Airport - Connected to Euro Space Centre - Centre of technology and aerospace innovation - Regional network: Liège Airport, Charleroi Airport and Wallonia s different Euro Space Centre bases

23 Territorial cooperation 1. Design prototypes for the aviation industry 2. Education and information 3. Cultural, social and business tourism Postmodern airports, Liège Airport

24 ADES: Territorial cooperation 1. Bringing local stakeholders to work together 2. Creating international network systems 3. Connecting with local territorial services 4. Environmental considerations

25 ADES: Territorial cooperation Villanova d Albenga Airport - Ecoaeroporto - Buffer zone: ecological connection between the protected areas in these provinces and the Site of Community Interest (SIC) and the inclusion of facilities for the production of energy from renewable sources (solar, wind) Hispaniola Airport, Dominican Rep Island Natural beauty (tourism) Raw materials (biofuels and biomass) Available work force Economic incentives (inner city rural areas) Policy supported by a network of airports and aviation community

26 ADES: Territorial cooperation Activities: - flight training - educational and demonstration programs academic courses in conjunction with local and international universities - research certification programs on alternative fuels for both piston and turbine engines - eco-tourism activities using biofuels powered aircraft - small efficient aircraft powered by renewable fuels used for environmental monitoring and security patrolling -. The Green Airport Hisponiala Airport, Dominican Republic

27 ADES: Territorial cooperation 1. Bringing local stakeholders to work together 2. Creating international network systems 3. Connecting with local territorial services 4. Environmental considerations 5. Opportunity for new social, economic and cultural activities 6. Bringing together development perspectives of the wide diversity of territories into a common framework Set of guidelines and catalogue for renewal strategies of small European regional airports
