Transportation Infrastructure as Catalyst: Evolving Urban Structure in the In-Between Space of Railway Stations

Abstract Struggling to cope with the pandemic, people are seeking for a more convenient and short-distance community lifestyle. The fourth industrial revolution has also given rise transportation information-based lifestyles. Around railway stations, traditional circular planning method based on 5-10-15 min walking distance forms centralized urban structure. When focus in-between space of multiple sometimes there is still vacuum that difficult access by walking. Taking material infrastructure (railway connecting traffic modes such as buses bicycles) catalyst, this study explores networked coordination immaterial (space, function, place, structure, etc.). station area redefined different speeds various modes, which improves radiation integration capacity stations. Meanwhile, multiplying isochrones applied another criteria accessibility land value, guiding evolution multi-centralized It contributes lifestyle an design pandemic response. Furthermore, definition quantitative analysis 3D Station Realm proposed relying Urban Network Analysis (UNA), practical exploration Feixi Road taken example idea.
