Son las ciudades contemporáneas igual que los aeropuertos? ¿Es decir, todas iguales? Esta hipótesis planteada en La Ciudad Genérica (Koolhaas, 1997) es aún más controversial: ¿qué pasa cuando un territorio es planificado en función de un aeropuerto, un “no-lugar”? como lo califica Marc Augé? (1993). La aerotrópolis es un modelo urbano aplicado en diversas ciudades del mundo de manera genérica, pese a las diferencias geográficas, culturales, económicas, idiosincráticas y sociopolíticas. John Kasarda, autor del concepto de aerotrópolis (2000), argumenta que aunque sus principios básicos de planificación se pueden aplicar a la mayoría de los lugares, su implantación exitosa depende mucho de los factores locales. ¿Pueden llegar el aeropuerto y el territorio afectado a una integración simbiótica en la que el primero aporte capital económico y el segundo identidad? A través del caso del nuevo aeropuerto internacional de Quito se reflexiona sobre esta controversia mediante un análisis crítico de su territorio. Estrategias como la contrastación con la polis griega, o el planteamiento de territorios inteligentes aportan luces al debate sobre esta nueva formar de habitar y planificar la ciudad.Palabras clave: aerotrópolis, ciudad genérica, Quito, territorio inteligente.

Is the contemporary city like the contemporary airport- “all the same”? This hypothesis in "The Generic City" (Koolhaas, 1997) is even more controversial with the following scenario: what happens when a territory is planned based on an airport, a "non-place", as qualified by Marc Augé? (Augé, 1993) The "aerotropolis" is an urban model that has been applied in various cities around the world in general terms, despite the obvious differences that may exist in cultural, geographical, economic, idiosyncratic, and sociopolitical aspects. John Kasarda, author of the concept of aerotropolis (Kasarda, 2000), argues that although their basic planning principles can be applied to most places, the successful implementation of an aerotropolis relies strongly on local factors. Can the airport and its affected territory reach a symbiotic integration, where the first one contributes with an economic capital and the second one with the identity? Through the case of the New Quito International Airport, we reflect on this dispute through a critical analysis of its territory.
