Urban and railway policies: towards the building of new parts of the city

Abstract

For some time, contemporary city has undertaken the promotion of a new quality of life and urban spaces through specific policies concerning the existing city, which are oriented to its renewal and change. In this framework, railway stations have a critical role in setting new spatial and functional rearrangements of cities and territories and contributing to spread more sustainable ways of mobility. The territory of Emilia-Romagna and especially the railway node of Bologna are emblematic examples of this continuous research of a balance between urban and railway policies in order to build and manage the complex place of railway station.
