Title of the article | Integration of transport hubs into the urban environment |
Abstract. | Problem statement. The purpose of this study is to identify the key features of the formation of modern transport interchange hubs (TPUs), to determine the factors affecting their placement and integration into the urban structure, to identify the spatial decisions that are made during design. One of the main tasks of TPU today is a comfortable and safe transfer of residents from one type of vehicle to another. Integrated transport hubs in the urban environment represent the most common type of TPU placement. Multi-level TPUs combine many functions for the life of the population, thereby forming centers of attraction for citizens, creating new jobs, organizing new urban centers. Transport hubs today are not only a comfortable change of transport; they are centers of urban activity. Results. The experience of designing and reconstructing TPU in various cities of the world is considered. The features of the integration of transport functions into urban objects of social and business activity are revealed. Conclusions. Having studied and analyzed the international and domestic experience in the design and implementation of TPU, key features and trends in the functional zoning of the TPU space, the organization of the three-dimensional structure of TPU, distinctive features and the possibility of placing them in the urban structure were identified. |
