Spatial anxieties and the changing landscape of an Australian airport

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
The AA. summarise some of the criticisms levelled under the legislation of government's airports. A reference is made to Hobart International Airport. The case exemplifies a double failing of policy and legislation. A range of spatial anxieties are exacerbated : fears and uncertainty about the penetration of elsewhereness and the destabilisation of belonging to place. Such failings may be part of a larger problem related to the question of how to properly account for local geographies of belonging and the complex spaces in which planning and policy take shape.
