Airports and Motorways as Factors Influencing the Shaping of Urban and Suburban Spaces

Piotr Trzepacz

Abstract

Airports and motorways belongs to the large-scale infrastructure. In both cases we can observe dynamie development of such objects in Poland. Author researched their impact on real estate market and local mobility patterns. In both cases it’s possible to identify the areas of negative impact of this group of transport infrastructure. This negative impact reflects on the land prices - but those interactions are spatially selective. In the case of airports, those areas which function under the axis of aireraft movements suffers from high noise level and greater pollution emission. It decreases the ąuality of life and indirectly impacts on real estate market. In the case of motorways we can also find the areas where those negative aspects are morę trouble some than in the others. The settlements which are located nearby the nodes between motorway and local roads may develop fast because they present high level of accessibility to the main urban area and often are separated from negative acoustic climate by the system of acoustic screens. From the other hand settlementsin direct neighborhood to the motorway, but without accessibility to the node, are cut from this kind of positive impact. In this case local society can suffer from limited possibilities of mobility caused by motorway as the corridor in space, hard or even impossible to cross.
