To further investigate the weight of infrastructures (and in its
specific case, of the new High Speed station) in the planning
processes and in the urban development (with special focus in how
linking the station, located in a peripheral area, to the city centre
and to the territory gravitating on it in an effective way. To use an
integrated (multi-level, multi-actors, multi-disciplinary) approach
especially concerning: infrastructures optimization (instead of
extension); functional choices; environment and landscape planning;
communication strategies.
To deeply investigate the opportunities of networking the HS railway
line with the highway through an integrated junction (HS station +
highway service area) working together.
- thanks to the suggestions collected during this preliminary exchange
with the other partners, to enlarge the ULSG by involving new
subjects, more involved in social/economical/cultural aspects
- to sensibilize citizens, users, stakeholders and institution in the
importance of exploiting the effects of the arriving of the new HS
station, by taking advantages of the next opening of the station but
especially of the exchange and dissemination activities of the
ENTER.HUB project.
- to go further in the collection and comparison on good practices on
the topic of the territorial and urban insertion of a new hub, in order
to build an effective urban and strategic planning able to make the
city more attractive and catalyzing for new activities (cultural,
economical, social promotion).
To benefit from experiences of other projects and from new views on
our project
To avoid failures and defaults that may lead to delays and costs
Improvement of the existing Fast Railways Station
Feasibility studies on expanding the connections and synergies with

To benefit from the investigations in the implementation of a multiand
intermodal traffic node
Improvement of the Integrated Plan of the City to better
accommodate the Fast Train and its impact in the city and region.
