Up to which point a transit system, a primarily utilitarian element of the city, could become a positive constituent of urban context, giving it a new significance and an additional value? In the last few decades, there is a relatively new and increasing phenomenon in urbanism which is to put more effort into the integration of transit system and its surrounding. In different regions of the world, multidisciplinary teams of planners are working on many-sided urban projects along the transit routes in order to establish a stronger dialog between mobility and the built environment, regardless the transport mode, size of city or urban context. The objective of this discussion is to give a general overview of this phenomenon and to evaluate some common ideas or outcomes.
