Transit Oriented Regeneration: Stedenbaan stations as drivers of urban regeneration in the south wing of the Randstad

This thesis explores the links between the concepts of Transit Oriented Development and urban regeneration, studying the design variables for the creation of high quality urban environments in station areas and the spin off effects of station area developments on the existing urban context. Two lines of works are defined in this research, a theoretical line and a practical line. The theoretical line builds a framework of design variables of station areas, which is tested in the design case of the practical line. The design case is a station area in the context of the Stedenbaan project in the South Wing of the Randstad: the new station of Spangen in Rotterdam. Conclusions and recommendations are extracted from the design case, as a set of key spatial strategies to design successful station areas.Urban Regeneration Graduation StudioUrbanismArchitectur
