Since the mid 70’s, the airports have been the central spots of the industrialization and urbanization process, due to the economical globalization and the new industry’s consolidation. If once they were placed away from the urban centers, since the 70’s, these structures became the center of the capitalistic process of territorialization and also, strong factors of localization to the Productive Agglomerations. The Airport City, given name to this process, at the beginning of the 21st century, was the center spot of an intense “metropolization”, and recently, since 2006, it is called Aerotropolis. This work invites the reader to get to know how these Airport Cities and Aerotropolis are consolidated starting from Industrial Airports around the world, highlighting some cases. It invites you to think more attentively about the Brazilian scenario starting from the case of Viracopos International Airport in Campinas, São Paulo. In Brazil. The legal opening for the institutionalization of Industrial Airports is recent (since 2002). Since 2006, Viracopos, the second national airport to operate as industrial, is aim of planners that hope to institute characteristics of an Aeropole to it. To evaluate how this process works in the region, we designed the Analytical Model Of An Industrial Airport, to which we credit the capacity of identifying the peculiar characteristics of this phenomena. Aiming to verify, standing before this panorama, the conditions and potentialities of the area for its consolidation.
