%X La probl¨¦matique du r le des a¨¦roports dans l¡¯image des villes et de leur place dans l¡¯¨¦volution de l¡¯espace urbain est abord¨¦e ¨¤ propos de Moscou. L¡¯ouverture de la Russie post-sovi¨¦tique ¨¤ la circulation mondiale et ¨¤ l¡¯¨¦conomie lib¨¦rale de march¨¦ a transform¨¦ la mission des a¨¦roports. Portes internationales des r¨¦gions et des villes, ils deviennent des instruments de promotion. Les nouveaux enjeux mobilisent les entreprises a¨¦roportuaires et les collectivit¨¦s territoriales. Les premi¨¨res modernisent les fonctions a¨¦roportuaires basiques pour am¨¦liorer le service rendu aux compagnies et aux passagers, entre autres par le d¨¦veloppement d¡¯activit¨¦s marchandes. Elles ont particip¨¦ au financement des liaisons ferroviaires avec la capitale. Ensemble, elles cherchent ¨¤ cr¨¦er des p les d¡¯activit¨¦s ¨¤ proximit¨¦ des a¨¦roports. L¡¯am¨¦lioration de la fonction a¨¦roportuaire et des liaisons avec l¡¯agglom¨¦ration est effective, mais la r¨¦alisation de p les de croissance urbaine tient sans doute autant ¨¤ d¡¯autres facteurs et les grands projets sont diff¨¦r¨¦s depuis le d¨¦but de la crise. 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. The improvement of airport functions and of their links with the city is effective, but the building of new central places results from other factors, or has been delayed since the beginning of the economic crisis.
