Abstract: This paper examines the Aerotropolis concept through the evolution of air-connected development from Willow Run to Detroit Metropolitan Airport in Michigan. It highlights the region’s aviation legacy—from Stratocruisers to 777s and Supersonics—and its impact on urban and economic transformation. Michigan’s investment in aviation infrastructure has improved mobility and attracted professionals, making airports key centers of commerce and innovation. The study underscores a shift in city planning where air travel drives regional growth, positioning the Aerotropolis as a modern blueprint for integrating transportation and urban development in the 21st century.
