Historically and today, one of the cornerstones of urban planning is the design of major transit facilities and infrastructure in cities. These projects address a diverse program that typically responds to collective demands within public space; consequently, they tend to be large-scale structures designed to accommodate heavy passenger flows and serve as vital coordinators of urban mobility.
This is especially true when it comes to multi- or intermodal stations—facilities designed to integrate more than one mode of transportation. Trains, buses, subways, and even planes and ferries share operational space within buildings that help optimize daily commutes. Below, we have selected a series of multimodal station projects from around the world that demonstrate diverse approaches to integrating transit programs with urban infrastructure.
