Planning the airport environment

Report231 pdf

Notes

This 1968 report by the American Society of Planning Officials examines the major planning challenges posed by airports, particularly in light of rapid growth in air transportation and the introduction of new jet aircraft. It summarizes methods and tools planners can use to achieve environments compatible with airport operations, viewing airports as transportation facilities, nuisances, land use influencers, and interjurisdictional concerns. The report also outlines the roles of federal agencies such as the Civil Aeronautics Board and the Federal Aviation Administration in regulating the national airport system.
