Transport Hubs as Innovation Hubs
Transport hubs are nerve centers of our modern mobile society and rapidly become economic centers - the new "Airport Cities" are remarkable examples.Where many people come together information and knowledge is shared and new ideas are created, and so airports, train stations, motorway rests become knowledge- and innovation hubs. The international conference REAL CORP 008 focuses on these 21st-century-transport- and innovation-hubs that are exceptionally challenging for urban and transport planning, architecture and real estate development.
Some of the questions to be dealt with:
How can the role of transport hubs as innovation hubs be improved?
Which technologies ensure the reliable functioning of the hubs and what further improvement is needed?
How can anticipatory planning ensure the sustainable development of those structures?
How can unmeant spatial developments be avoided and environmental impacts be dealt with?
