One of the challenges facing airport development is the ongoing encroachment of incompatible land uses around airports such as high intensity residential areas, schools, and environmentally sensitive land uses. In California, airport land use compatibility issues are particularly challenging since airport operators generally do not have direct authority over local land use decisions. In addition, local governments often consider economic incentives from land use development around airports to outweigh airport land use compatibility considerations.China is building 50 to 60 airports in the next five years, including the world's largest airport, the Beijing Daxing International Airport by 2018. Using various U.S. examples, this paper focuses the airport land use compatibility planning issues China may be facing.A right balance through the use of airport land use compatibility planning must be sought between promoting the economic benefits and preserving the vitality of new airport development versus protecting the safety and the environment of nearby communities.
