Ai rpor t Growth Pa t te rnsOver the past 30 years global GDP has risen 154% and the value of world trade has grown 355%. The value of air cargo has climbed an astonishing 1,395%. Today, 40% of the total economic value of all goods produced in the world, is shipped by air. This has led to the emergence of a new urban development concept: the airport as the hub of a full-fledged city center. Examples of active developments following this model for globalization include Dallas, TX; Hong Kong; Seoul, South Korea; and Dubai, UAE.

Po r t Growth Pa t te rnsSeaport growth is similarly booming with container shipping terminals growing at dizzying rates as increasingly larger ships are supporting the enormous growth. World container traffic has been increasing at an annual rate of 10.7%, which is the highest in the last 30 years. The North American share of the global industry is estimated at 15.9%. During the last five years, the TEU-capacity of the world container fleet grew an average by 11.3% per year, whereas the number of container vessels rose by 5.9%. Cities such as Rotterdam, Hamburg, Shanghai, Singapore, and Hong Kong are creating their own urban model; where manufacturing, distribution and logistics facilities are laid out in organized, clean environments linked with commercial areas and easy access to residential environments where workers live.

Newark “Aeropor t ropo l i s”12 miles from Manhattan, Newark, NJ has the unique existing infrastructure of an integrated Air and Seaport with unparalleled rail and highway networks in the center of one of the largest and wealthiest markets in the world. From this position emerges the Newark “Aeroportropolis,” a coordinated Master Plan Development for the areas surrounding the Newark Air and Seaports, encompassing 1,400 acres of under-utilized properties that once redeveloped will position the City of Newark as the global hub within the NY Metro market and capture the massive growth of the global transport industry.

C i t y o f Newark , NJThe Newark Aeroportropolis is being presented by the City of Newark’s governing body led by the Honorable Mayor Cory Booker, who heralds credentials which include a BA and MA from Stanford University, a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University and a Law Degree from Yale University. Mayor Booker is dedicated to making Newark the national standard for urban transformation. With a renewed sense of energy and vision, the newly installed city adminis-tration, led by Mayor Booker, has deemed the Port and Airport as a top priority for long term economic growth.

ost people know of Newark by its airport, with over 36 million passengers traveling through its terminals each year.

However, a significant number of travelers do not realize that there is a city attached to the airport with an emerging downtown that is only 2 miles away. The City of Newark is one of the oldest cities in the US. It was once an industrial powerhouse, and has now emerged as a commercial hub in the center of the Northern NJ market, which is the densest and wealthiest market in the US. This position is due largely in part to its proximity to New York City, which remains one of Newark’s strongest features.

Loca t ionOne of Newark’s leading competitive advantages is its proximity and accessibility to New York City, the metropolitan region and the world.

he first phase of development will be in a prime location positioned

between the North East Corridor Rail Line and Weequahic Park. Freelinghuysen Avenue links this neighborhood to the Central Business District and is flanked to the west by low and moderate income residential housing and to the east by approximately 1 million SF of underutilized warehouse space.
