Development of small and medium size railway stations into multipurpose local service centers

Programme 2000 - 2006 Cadses

Description

Description (EN):

Since 1990 countries in Central and Eastern Europe have been encountering a decrease in the number of passengers using public transport. On the one hand, much rail transport has been substituted by using cars, but on the other hand the lack of care for the railway infrastructure and train stations has also contributed to a decrease in the number of people travelling by train. The project partners of REVITA realised the need to stop the decline of the regional railway infrastructure. In projects previously completed, they observed that railway station development can have a positive effect on local and regional development. Railway stations are often a part of the local cultural and architectural heritage and still can play an important role as mobility and tourist centres. However, most small and medium-sized railway stations in the project regions are in need of revitalisation to enable them to regain this status and to play a vital role in the daily life of the respective community. The REVITA project aims at developing strategies for the conversion of railway stations into multipurpose local service centres. The economic role of railway stations should be strengthened and the use of sustainable modes of transport should be encouraged. The target groups of the project are the citizens and visitors of the five regions involved. The project partners come from similarly structured regions and include all relevant actors involved in railway station development. The local communities in the regions are, from an economic point of view, less developed than large cities and face various social and economic problems. By transnational collaboration the project will help to develop new employment opportunities and will contribute to raising the attractiveness of rail transport. Moreover, the revitalisation of these regional centres contributes to a more balanced regional development and helps to reduce road-related external costs.

Expected Results (EN):

The REVITA project is developing a model for the revitalisation of small and medium-sized railway stations with the help of local and private investors. A ready-to-go concept for the revitalisation process in order to make railway stations attractive landmarks of cities should be established. This concept study will then be employed in the actual revitalisation process of the train stations. Moreover, feasibility studies for railway station managers and investors will be conducted and the awareness of potential investors concerning investment possibilities should be increased. The development of stations into local service centres will also provide new employment opportunities in the project regions.
