He is a faculty member at the University of North Carolina's Kenan-Flagler Business School, the CEO of Aerotropolis Business Concepts LLC (an airport-economy consulting firm [1] ) and the President of the Aerotropolis Institute in China. [2] He was the founding editor-in-chief of Logistics, [3] an open-access journal published by MDPI. Kasarda is often referred to as "father of the aerotropolis". [4] [5] [6]

Career

Kasarda has a background in economics, business, and urban sociology, and has conducted research on urban form, organizational structure, airport development, and regional economic growth. He has written 10 books and over 150 published articles, many of which synthesize two or more of these topics.[ citation needed ]

From 1980 to 1990, he chaired UNC's Department of Sociology, where he held the position of Kenan Distinguished Professor. [7] In 1990, Kasarda moved to UNC's Kenan-Flagler Business School as Kenan Distinguished Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship, and Director of the Frank Hawkins Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise. [8] Over the following 22 years, he worked at the Institute for the study of entrepreneurship, regional economic development, and global competitiveness, and helped establish the Kenan Foundation Asia in Bangkok, [9] where he continues to serve on its board and executive committee. [10]

Kasarda stepped down from UNC's Kenan Institute directorship in 2012, [11] but maintained his Kenan-Flagler faculty position. [12] Much of his research and applied work since 2000 has addressed how aviation and airports impact the competitiveness and growth of firms, cities, and regions. [13] [14] Kasarda developed what he has termed the "aerotropolis" model for the role of aviation and airports. [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] His theories and applied work were elaborated upon in a 2012 book Aerotropolis: The Way We'll Live Next, co-authored with Greg Lindsay. [26] Kasarda has consulted on various aerotropolis developments around the world, though his most extensive efforts have been in China. [27] [28] [29] [30]

Kasarda's model has its critics [31] including an organization called the Global Anti-Aerotropolis Movement. [32] Nevertheless, its application has been expanding internationally, such as in Amsterdam, Beijing, Dubai, and Johannesburg, Memphis, Paris, Sydney, and Zhengzhou.

Kasarda earned a Bachelor of Science in Applied Economics from Cornell University in 1967, a Master of Business Administration in Organizational Theory from Cornell in 1968, and a Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1971. [33]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Aerotropolis</span>

An aerotropolis is a metropolitan subregion whose infrastructure, land use, and economy are centered on an airport. 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. 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. The term was repurposed by air commerce researcher John D. Kasarda in 2000 based on his prior research on airport-driven economic development.

An Airport City is the “inside the fence” airport area of a large airport, which includes the airport's facilities and "on-airport businesses" such as air cargo, logistics, offices, retail, and hotels.
