The public forum The City and Transport– How Railway Infrastructure Shapes Urban Space explores how the activation and integration of railway infrastructure can transform urban environments, stimulate the development of new programs and uses, and improve the quality of public space.
At the forum, Dr. Aljaž Plevnik will present the example of Graz and the improvements made for regional rail passengers through relatively small investments implemented within a short period of time. Špela Štern from IC ELEA will discuss the redevelopment of the Ljubljana railway station, highlighting the project’s complexity from both design and organisational perspectives, as well as the requirement for rail traffic to remain fully operational throughout the reconstruction process.
Marko Vajdić will present the development opportunities and infrastructural potential of Zagreb’s railway network, including administrative challenges that slow its integration into the city’s transport system. Marko Dabrović of 3LHD will address the urban context of railway infrastructure in Zagreb, with particular focus on the Gredelj area and the broader zone along the railway corridor, reflecting on its current condition while emphasizing the site’s significant strategic development potential.
The discussion will be moderated by Toma Bačić, a journalist specializing in railway and urban rail transport. He has been writing on the topic since 1996, and regularly contributing to professional publications since 2006, bringing a broader regional perspective and insights from practice.
Through a comparison of examples from Ljubljana, Zagreb and Graz, the participants will present expert perspectives on how railway infrastructure can become a generator of urban development rather than merely a transport corridor. The discussion will focus on practical experiences, professional reflections and the lessons that accompany each transformation process.
