From 1909 an the first controlled flights, city planners began to incorporate aerial considerations into their reflections on the metropolis of the future. Aerocity analyses airports from a historical perspective as essential objects in understanding the link between transport technologies and urbanism: airports are not ultimately the prototype of the anonymous “non-place”, but specific, concrete spaces with their own place in history.
