Transforming Urban Transportation
Transforming Urban Transportation_Andrew Tang
As technology and the speed of transportation improves, the role of the stations and transportation hubs have become more complex, and the need to improve them create opportunities in the rethinking the typology of the station and its relationship with the city and the public realm. Lounges, retail, communication, branding of cities and even event spaces are programs that were less evident in the historic transportation hubs. Better efficiency to connect to other modes of transport is desired, and thus a need for better infrastructure is growing as the speed of our information age society increase. As projected population unfold and new transport network are proposed, the architecture of urban transportation is going through an evolution to upgrade its functionality while at the same time reestablish itself in the spirit of the 21st century. How the new architecture of urban transportation manifest itself is having effect in the transforming of the city’s image, urban connectivity and future development.
