航空大都市：Aerotropolis
在速度經(jīng)濟時代，機場已經(jīng)成為全球生產(chǎn)和商業(yè)活動的重要結點，也是帶動地區(qū)經(jīng)濟發(fā)展的引擎，它不斷地吸引著眾多的與航空業(yè)相關的行業(yè)聚集到其周圍。隨著越來越多的商業(yè)企業(yè)在機場以及交通走廊周圍集聚，一種新型的城市出現(xiàn)了：航空大都市。
Aerotropolis refers to a city in which the layout, infrastructure, and economy are centered around a major airport.
“航空大都市”指的是城市設計、基礎設施和經(jīng)濟形式都以大型機場為中心的城市。
This word combines the prefix aero-, “relating to airplanes and aviation” and the word metropolis, “a large city.” It’s also called an aviation city or an airport city.
這一單詞結合了前綴aero-（與飛機和航空有關）和單詞metropolis（大都市），也稱為航空城市或機場城市。
In its purest form, the aerotropolis is an economic hub that extends out from a large airport into a surrounding area that consists mostly of distribution centers, office buildings, light manufacturing firms, convention centers, and hotels, all linked to the airport via roads, expressways (aerolinks), and rail lines (aerotrains).
在最簡單的形式中，“航空大都市”是從一個大型機場向周邊地區(qū)延伸出的經(jīng)濟中心，主要由配送中心、寫字樓、輕工制造公司、會展中心、酒店等組成。所有設施都通過道路和高速公路與機場相連。
This business-centered version of the aerotropolis is also called an air-commerce cluster or an airport cluster.
“航空大都市”的這種商業(yè)中心形式也稱為“航空商務聚落”或者“機場集群”。
