A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
So much has been written regarding the location and the engineering design of airports that the writer has chosen rather to discuss some of the economic factors relating to the growth in size and in density of use of existing ports. This paper also deals largely with ports intended for transport planes. Until recently, the number of airports had reached and declined from a saturation point. Under the stimulus of war there is now (1941) a renewed growth, and a higher saturation value, although at present there is no reliable indicator to serve as a guide. For example, many state planning bodies are compiling lists of airports to be built progressively as the demand requires, and these will be correlated into a nation-wide plan; but the problem facing the present-day designer is primarily one of improvement and enlargement of present facilities.
