The 4,500 hectare development, centered around the existing airport, will include a districts for transportation, logistics, industry, and residential development, and has been called "one of Taiwan’s largest national infrastructure projects ever." The Aerotropolis is expected to create 200,000-300,000 new jobs, generate annual revenues of NT$2.3 trillion (US$75.4 billion), and accommodate 4.5 million tons of container cargo a year.[2]
