Description: Stations of the Future

In collaboration with Delft University of Technology and University of Paris-Est, AMS Institute is developing a new research project on the future of stations within metropolitan areas.

As part of the Smart Urban Mobility program, in collaboration with Delft University of Technology (DIMI, Delft Deltas Infrastructure Mobility Initiative, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences and Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment) and University of Paris Est, AMS Institute is investigating integrated mobility approaches on station locations and new design challenges of rail-metro stations.

At the main point of intersection between the railway and the city, stations are key elements of the organization of the intermodal transport but also catalysts of urban developments. The station of the future has to meet several challenges: passenger growth, climate change, social equity and segregation, energy transition and new mobility developments (such as Mobility as a Service), all the while boasting exemplary sustainable development credentials. Towards energy efficient and environmental friendly interchanges, tomorrow’ station needs to be also scalable, enhanced, shared, attractive and expressive all at the same time (Circular Approach).

“We need to think about what the station means to the city now and in the future and its connection to other modalities of transport, be it metro, bus, pedestrian walkways or on demand services. Starting with the Randstad as living laboratory, "Stations of the Future" explores integrated metropolitan challenges by linking the transversal discipline of infrastructural planning, urban design, architecture and urban management among others.”
