| description | The role of airports in the image of cities and their place in the evolution of urban space are described in the case of Moscow. Airports functions are changing in post-soviet Russia opened to global mobility and liberal economy. As international gates of cities and regions, they are becoming tools of promotion. It is a new challenge for airports and territorial authorities. Airports are improving their basic functions to satisfy air companies and passengers, in particular by developing merchant activities. They invested to manage railway links with the city. Together, they try to create business and commercial centers around the airports.
