A Shift In Thinking About The Public Realm

"The most controversial part of the plan has been its aim to limit the airport's capacity to 78 million passengers a year, essentially by eliminating 11 existing gates. The move would force other regional airports to undergo major expansions to accommodate expected growth in air travel over the next decade. But the proposal's other focus is security. By stretching out the flow of movement through the airport, it seeks to relieve congestion and increase screening and surveillance options. Relocating parking, city officials say, will also reduce the threat of car bombings."
