在全球城市化时代，机场是城市增长和经济发展的关键催化剂。除了其全球经济功能外，航空运输基础设施的多尺度连通性和局部影响使其成为城市区域政治和规划的核心。然而，全球航空运输、经济发展和城市区域主义之间的关系仍然缺乏理论化。本文引入航空区域主义的概念，探讨在全球化、航空运输、城市区域主义和航空运输的关系中展开的关系/领土辩证法和国家领土化机制。我对芝加哥和多伦多全球城市地区不同的当地制度安排和政策框架对机场政治和基础设施一体化的影响进行了地理关系比较。本文分析了当地交通和规划系统变化的相对重要性，以加深我们对全球航空基础设施与其周边区域空间之间的关系，以及全球主要港口与全球城市区域当地交通毛细血管之间的连通性的理解。航空区域主义的概念揭示了竞争性经济全球化、国家空间性和大型机场基础设施的发展如何通过城市和空域的共生（如果有争议）共同生产来调节，从而增进了我们对机场的城市政治经济的理解。虽然不同的治理制度塑造了这两个城市区域的城市交通网络的发展，但全球化和新自由主义的迫切需要正在对机场空间的物质、政治和话语区域化施加压力，同时赋予高级网络化流动性的逻辑特权。 (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Airports are key catalysts for urban growth and economic development in an era of global urbanization. In addition to their global economic functions, the multiscalar connectivity and localized impacts of air transport infrastructure place them at the heart of city-regional politics and planning. Yet the relations between global air transport, economic development and city-regionalism remain under-theorized. This paper introduces the concept of aero-regionalism to explore the relationality/territoriality dialectic and mechanisms of state territorialization unfurling at the nexus of globalization, air transport, city-regionalism and air transport. I provide a relational geographic comparison of the impact of varying local institutional arrangements and policy frameworks on the political and infrastructural integration of airports in the global city-regions of Chicago and Toronto. The paper analyzes the relative significance of variations in local transportation and planning systems to develop our understanding of the relations between global aviation infrastructures and their surrounding regional spaces, and the connectivity between major global ports and local transportation capillaries in global city-regions. The concept of aero-regionalism advances our understanding of the urban political economy of airports by uncovering how competitive economic globalization, state spatiality and the development of large-scale airport infrastructures are mediated through the symbiotic, if contested, co-production of urban and air space. While divergent governance regimes have shaped the development of urban transportation networks in the two case city-regions, the imperatives of globalization and neoliberalization are pressuring the material, political and discursive regionalization of airport space while privileging the logics of premium networked mobility.
