Taoyuan Aerotropolis is an example of a large urban planning development at the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport in Taoyuan City, Taiwan.

An aerotropolis is a metropolitan subregion whose infrastructure, land use, and economy are centered on an airport.[1] It fuses the terms "aero-" (aviation) and "metropolis". Like the traditional metropolis made up of a central city core and its outlying commuter-linked suburbs, the aerotropolis consists of 1) the airport's aeronautical, logistics, and commercial infrastructure forming a multimodal, multifunctional airport city at its core and 2) outlying corridors and clusters of businesses and associated residential developments that feed off each other and their accessibility to the airport.[2][3] The word aerotropolis was first used by New York commercial artist Nicholas DeSantis, whose drawing of a skyscraper rooftop airport in the city was presented in the November 1939 issue of Popular Science.[4] The term was repurposed by air commerce researcher John D. Kasarda in 2000 based on his prior research on airport-driven economic development.[5][6][7][8][9]
