dc.description
High-level rail infrastructure is crucial for sustainable mobility, but it often creates spatial barriers withindense urban environments. While tram and light rail systems can be integrated relatively easily, the operational logicof elevated, at-grade or below-grade railway lines frequently conflicts with fine-grained urban patterns and networks ofactive mobility.
This research explores strategies for the spatial reintegration of railway infrastructure into the urban fabric, focusing on Vienna as a key case study. The city’s railway landscape, which ranges from Otto Wagner’s historic urban railway archesto modern suburban and freight lines, illustrates both successful integrations and persistent spatial divides.
The study examines planning and design principles that enhance the permeability of railway corridors by transformingspaces alongside, beneath, and above the tracks into public, ecological, and connective urban elements. It addressesthe fundamental tension between maintaining efficient transport operations and preserving the dense, mixed-useurban fabric that depends on accessibility and proximity.
The presentation provides an overview of current research on the relationship between infrastructure and urban design,outlining potential pathways for translating these insights into future interdisciplinary research proposals.
