Cette thèse en urbanisme et aménagement analyse les interactions entre les grandes gares historiques et les logiques du marché ferroviaire européen. L'interférence entre les principes du marché et ceux de l'aménagement des lieux de transport invite à mobiliser de nouveaux concepts pour présenter l'évolution des grandes gares historiques dans une perspective contemporaine. Pour ce faire, il est proposé d'utiliser les méthodes de la sociologie économique des marchés et de comparer trois terrains: la gare de St Pancras à Londres, la gare du Nord à Paris et la gare centrale de Milan. Dans un premier temps, la thèse présente les différentes formes d'encastrement des principes concurrentiels (historiques, culturels, institutionnels et sociaux) dans l'aménagement des gares, en prenant le parti d'une analyse diachronique au long cours de chacun des cas. Dans un second temps, la thèse détaille les agencements marchands à l'œuvre - selon le modèle analytique synthétisé par Michel Callon. Trois agencements marchands ont été identifiés qui correspondent à trois formes d'économisation de l'objet-gare: l'agencement de l'infrastructure de transport, l'agencement du bien immobilier, l'agencement de la place marchande. Cette thèse démontre combien la rationalisation économique des gares formate autant qu'elle est formatée par ces infrastructures. In fine, elle invite à considérer les processus d'économisation de l'espace pour en comprendre l'aménagement qui en résulte / This research in urban planning and studies analyses the interaction between major historic railway stations and the logics of the European rail market. Interferences between the market principles and those of the planning and the management of transport places are an issue that requires new concepts to understand how do major historic railway stations evolve in our time. This research applies mehods developed in the field of economic sociology, especially on markets, and compares three cases: London St Pancras, Paris Nord and Milano Centrale stations. The first part of this dissertation presents the different forms of embeddedness (historical, cultural, institutional and social) that implement competition principles into the planning and the management of railway stations. A long-term diachronical approach of each case is presented. The second part of the dissertation uses the theoretical approach of market agencing developed by Michel Callon in the fields of economic sociology and of science and technology studies. Three ways of agencing railway stations are analysed: agencing the essential facility, agencing the real estate asset and agencing the “market square facility” – a new kind of market square especially developed in transit places. This dissertation shows how economic rationalisation frames railway stations as far as those infrastructures frame this economic rationalisation in return. It invites us to consider the process of economisation of space as a key part of planning practices

Depuis le début des années 2010, le terme de « quotidien » remplace celui de « banlieue » dans certains discours politiques pour désigner les gares ferroviaires de proximité en Île-de-France. Contrairement aux « quartiers sensibles » ou aux « agglomérations », cette expression des « gares du quotidien » se présente a priori bien plus comme un nouvel élément de langage dans l’air du temps que comme une catégorie politique ou administrative installée. Néanmoins, celle-ci apparaît dans le débat public à un moment particulier, en creux du projet de Grand Paris Express, comme précipitée par un certain nombre d’acteurs aux stratégies et idéaux a priori convergents, et s’accompagne d’une vague de travaux assez inédite dans les gares de ces réseaux. De plus, le « quotidien » ne saurait renvoyer aux mêmes images ni aux mêmes valeurs que la « banlieue ». En cela, cette substitution ne saurait être fortuite. À partir d'une analyse des représentations véhiculées par différentes formes de récits d’acteurs d’une part, et d’une exploration des gares et des projets dont elles font l’objet dans le territoire de la Seine Aval d’autre part, cette thèse entend dévoiler les ruptures qui autorisent l’émergence des « gares du quotidien » comme nouvelle catégorie du Grand Paris, les significations qui la traversent, et les transformations auxquelles elle engage. Son ambition est ainsi de discuter plus largement les fonctions imaginaires de la catégorisation dans la fabrique des espaces urbains. Ce faisant, ce travail propose une relecture de l’histoire contemporaine de l’aménagement francilien à travers la lentille du « quotidien », et révèle sous cet angle certains basculements dans le rapport des acteurs du transport et de l’urbanisme à la « banlieue » et à ses habitants, mais aussi dans les segmentations professionnelles et les rapports de force en présence / The beginning of the years 2010s saw a terminological shift within political discourses: railway stations in the Île-de-France region, previously designated as ‘suburban stations’, increasingly became known as ‘everyday life stations’. Unlike other trending expressions such as ‘sensitive neighbourhoods’ or ‘agglomerations’, this expression does not relate to a well-identified political or administrative category. Nonetheless, it appears in public debate at a peculiar moment, in the context of the Greater Paris (Grand Paris) project, as if it were precipitated by a wide array of actors sharing conveying ideals and strategies. It is also accompanied by important work in the stations of these networks. As a result, this substitution cannot be incidental, and the term ‘everyday life’ indeed refers to imaginaries that differ substantially from the previously used adjective – ‘suburban’. By analysing the representations conveyed by different forms of stakeholders’ narratives, and by exploring stations and the urban projects they are part of in the Seine Aval territory, this dissertation seeks to unravel the fractures and discontinuities that allow for the emergence of ‘everyday life stations’ as a new category of the Greater Paris, its interweaving meanings, and the way in which it renews the materiality of spaces. Its ambition is thus to discuss more broadly the imaginary functions of categorisation in urban fabric. In doing so, the work offers a new reading grid for the contemporary history of planning in the Île-de-France region. By looking through the lens of ‘everyday life’, it uncovers a number of shifts in the relationships between actors in the transportation and urban planning sectors, with suburban areas and their inhabitants. This approach is also insightful for the assessment of professional segmentations and power relations at work

Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo principal investigar e avaliar as transformações ocorridas na organização espacial das estações ferroviárias, com o advento da sua integração física com a rede do metrô, na cidade de São Paulo, entre 1979, ano de inauguração da primeira estação integrada, a do Brás, e 2010, ano de inauguração da estação integrada Tamanduateí. São cinco estações delimitadas neste estudo, e que foram divididas em dois grupos: no primeiro, as de estruturas conectadas - Brás, Luz e Santo Amaro -; no segundo, as estações de estrutura compartilhada - Barra Funda e Tamanduateí. Este trabalho estrutura-se em cinco partes. Primeira: Conceitos gerais, objetivos e metodologia da pesquisa. Segunda: Análise das transformações na tipologia das estações ferroviárias, até o advento da integração modal. Terceira: Diretrizes para projetos de arquitetura de estações ferroviárias, de metrô e de integração modal. Quarta: Análise das cinco estações sob três aspectos: organização espacial da estação ferroviária e do metrô, integração física e atendimento ao fluxo de transferência. Quinta: As análises são cruzadas com as informações contidas no embasamento teórico, considerações finais. Cada estação apresenta as marcas das intervenções efetuadas em diferentes períodos na ferrovia. As análises das estações delinearam as diversas fases da integração intra-modal CPTM-Metrô na cidade de São Paulo, expondo pontos positivos, equívocos e seu estado atual / This research aims to investigate and to evaluate the changes occurring in the spatial organization of the railway stations, with the advent of the interchange with the metro network in the city of Sao Paulo, between 1979, opening´s year of the first station of this kind, Bras, and 2010, opening´s year of Tamanduatei. There are five stations defined in this study, and they were divided into two groups: in the first, the connected structures - Bras, Luz and Santo Amaro -; in the second, shared structure - Barra Funda and Tamanduatei. This study is divided into five parts. First: General concepts, objectives and research´s methodology. Second: Analysis of changes in the railway station´s types, until the advent of modal interchange. Third: Guidelines for architectural design of railway stations, subway and modal interchanges. Fourth: Analysis of the five stations under three aspects: spatial organization of the railway station and the subway, the interchange and attendance of the transfer. Fifth: the analyses are crossed with the information contained in the theoretical basis, concluding remarks. Each station has marks of interventions carried out at different periods of time in the railroad. The station´s analyses outlined the various stages of intra-modal interchange CPTMMetro in the city of Sao Paulo, exposing positive points, misconceptions and the current state

The purpose of the urban design is to solve the traffic problems of the area and design new parts of the Main Railway Station, with a program of accompanying functions connected with the use of the water element of the Morava River. The proposal involves join the train and bus stations to one separate building located at the historic train station. Nearby is the proposed modular marketplace, train museum and café.

Insbesondere seit den 1990er Jahren ist international eine wachsende Bedeutung der Transiträume Tankstelle, Flughafen und Bahnhof als Einzelhandels- und Dienstleistungsstandorte zu beobachten. Vielfältige Gründe sowohl auf standortendogener als auch auf standortexogener Seite sind dafür verantwortlich. Nach einer vergleichenden Analyse der drei Transiträume auf allgemeiner Ebene wendet sich die Betrachtung der praktischen Umsetzung der Einzelhandelsansiedlung an den Standorten zu. Für die Flughäfen und Tankstellen geschieht dies mittels einer Literaturauswertung. Der Einzelhandelsstandort Bahnhof wird dagegen im Rahmen einer eigenen empirischen Studie im Großraum Berlin einer speziellen Prüfung unterzogen. Den Ausgangspunkt stellt ein deduktives Modell zum Versorgungsstandort Bahnhof dar, das die wichtigsten Einflussgrößen nennt und zueinander in Beziehung setzt. Ziel des Modells ist es, die Entwicklung eines Bahnhofs zu einem erfolgreichen Versorgungsstandort zu erleichtern. Außerdem hilft es, die Effekte der Bahnhofskommerzialisierung auf Standortcharakter und städtischen Raum abzuschätzen. Der Modellentwurf wird mit Hilfe einer Bestandsaufnahme auf Bahnhofs- und Angebotsseite und einer Besucherbefragung überprüft und inhaltlich konkretisiert, so dass schließlich ein verifiziertes Modell zum Versorgungsstandort Bahnhof vorliegt, das mit empirischen Daten und Planungshilfen untermauert ist und zur Anwendung bereitsteht. / Since the 1990s there has been a growing significance of transit areas like gas stations, airports and railway stations as retail locations. This development is caused by various reasons. Having compared the three types of transit areas in general the thesis illustrates how the setting-up of retail in transit areas is put into practice. The shopping areas of airports and gas stations are presented on the basis of a literature review. The retail in railway stations is analysed by own research. Starting point of the study is a deductive model describing the railway station in its function as retail location. It shows the key elements of the retail system and their relations to each other. The model aims at facilitating the development of profitable shopping areas within railway stations and it helps assess the effects of the commercial using on the location''s character and its surroundings. To check and fill up the model with empirical data own surveys (inventory, interviews) have been carried out in the metropolitan area of Berlin. Eventually a verified model describing the railway station in its function as retail location exists. It is supported by empirical data and planning aids and ready for application.

The implementation of the railway in Triângulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba helped to develop the area and connexion with other states: São Paulo, Goiás and Mato Grosso. The railway used to transport people and goods throughout many train stations in urban and rural areas and some major railroad complexes. There were many factors that led to the decline and abandonment of these properties: governmental policies which were in favour of road transportation and automotive industry, the replacement of the steam locomotive for electric and electric-diesel locomotives, changing part of the railway plan, removal of railways and loss of function of the buildings, extinction of passenger trains, which led the stations to lose its main purpose: people transport. 53% of the stations built inside the study area were demolished and most of them are in rural areas. There are several situations: stations on a precarious conservation state, most of them in the city s rural area, stations being used in urban and rural areas with new uses, stations working with cargo and goods transportation. The stations in Triângulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba area in Minas Gerais are the object of this dissertation, wherein the main interest lies on the stations that are in operation, 21 buildings, seeking to verify their conservation state, their agents and role in preserving the train memory. Maps, charts and tables were made for this collection s understanding, having visited the stations that are listed by the cultural heritage and the ones that are in operation with new functions. Field records were made allowing the understanding of these properties in operation. It is observed that only the buildings listing, despite ensuring the non-demolition, does not help on the use and preservation of these stations, because there are some buildings that have this protection level, but are abandoned and in disrepair. The use of these stations by a train company, operating with cargo and goods transportation do not also guarantee the buildings preservation, as they are not treated with any preservation interest, their maintenance are precarious. The using by these companies are various, however, only a few stations have internal spaces dedicated to the railroad memory. Most of the stations did not have preservation projects with architects and specialists participation and the major concern, during maintenance process, is on the building s external part. The stations conservation begins on the local government interest, that preserve these properties, most of them are in urban areas, the major challenge is on their using definition and occupancy, especially in the countryside, wherein the buildings uses must be sustainable, as regards the appreciation and management of this heritage. / A implantação da ferrovia, no Triângulo Mineiro e Alto Paranaíba/MG, auxiliou no desenvolvimento da região e na ligação com outros estados: São Paulo, Goiás e Mato Grosso. A ferrovia transportava mercadorias e pessoas e para isso foram construídas várias estações, tanto no meio urbano quanto na zona rural e em alguns locais grandes complexos ferroviários. Vários foram os fatores que levaram à decadência e ao abandono desses bens: as políticas governamentais que privilegiaram os transportes rodoviários e a indústria automobilística; a subtituição da locomotiva a vapor por locomotivas elétricas e elétricasdiesel; a mudança de parte do traçado ferroviário, com a retirada da linha e a perda da função do edifício; extinção dos trens de passageiros, o que levou a estação a perder sua principal função: o transporte de pessoas. Na área em estudo, das estações aqui construídas 53% destes imóveis foram demolidos, e a maioria estão na zona rural dos municípios. Temos várias situações: estações em precário estado de conservação, a maioria na zona rural dos muncípios; estações que estão sendo utilizadas na zona urbana e rural, com novos usos; estações em funcionamento com a operação para o transporte de cargas e mercadorias. O objeto de estudo deste trabalho são as estações da região do Triângulo Mineiro e Alto Paranaíba, em Minas Gerais; no entanto, com um interesse particular sobre as estações que se encontram em uso, 21 exemplares, buscando verificar seus processos de conservação, seus agentes e seu papel na preservação da memória ferroviária. Para o desenvolvimento do trabalho, foram elaborados mapas, quadros e tabelas, visando o entendimento deste acervo, bem como a realização de visitas às estações que são tombadas e que estão sendo utilizadas com novos usos. Foram preenchidas as fichas de visitas de campo permitindo, assim, entender estes bens em uso. Observa-se que somente o tombamento, apesar de garantir a não demolição do bem, não auxilia no processo de utilização e conservação dessas estações, pois existem estações que, embora possuam esse grau de proteção, estão abandonadas e em péssimo estado de conservação. A utilização dessas estações, por uma concessionária, com a operação do transporte de cargas e mercadorias, também não garante a conservação desses imóveis, pois não são tratados como bens alvos de preservação, e a sua manutenção é ruim. Os usos pelas concessionárias são diversos, porém são poucas as estações que possuem espaços internos dedicados à memória ferroviária, o que não garante a preservação dessa memória; a maioria das estações em uso não tiveram projetos de conservação com a participação de arquitetos e especialistas, sendo que a maior preocupação, durante os processos de manutenção, está na preservação do exterior do edifício; a conservação dessas estações parte do interesse das prefeituras que conservam estes imóveis, e a maioria que está conservada encontra-se na área urbana dos municípios; o grande desafio é a definição dos usos para ocupação destes espaços, principalmente na zona rural, sendo que estes usos além de preservarem o edifício devem ser sustentáveis, no que se refere à valorização e gestão deste patrimônio. / Mestre em Arquitetura e Urbanismo

Urban-architectural study of the new city part between the current and the future main station in Brno. The study is focused on creating a new concept of urban area as an alternative to the present intention based on the actual city plan. The main impulse to update the building layout of this developing municipal area is the integration of the new city high-speed railway. The particular attention is drawn to the utilization of two levels of the urban area originating from different levels of terrain and train yards. The integral part of the space arrangement on the principle of a compact city is also the application of theory and the observation of the tenable city. The core of the concept is the programmed structure of buildings density which is interlaced with the network of public transport and private atria. Within the frame of this structure two urban projects have been developed in details. Firstly, it is the placement of new Janaček´s centre of musical art at the place of reconstructed Svratka bank in the south part of the area. The other motive is the concept of the stop of a speed train in the very centre of this area. The stop features the central square and is involved in the complex of the congress centre. All this area is completed with the concept of a new municipal spa. The programme of the whole study is to complete city areas with facilities and functions which are considered to be absent. The quality of the project can be assessed, compared to the city plan of Brno.

While there has been considerable research regarding the role of Mobility Hubs in cities and transport networks, significant investment is required to develop these facilities. It is the correlation between investment, new users’ attraction and revenue generation that is the key for a sustainable development of Mobility Hubs and this investment must, therefore, be correctly assessed and targeted. This study aims to develop a methodology to determine the viability of investing in Mobility Hub features, weighing the investment on different Hub features and services against expected potential benefits and revenue generation, addressing the question: Can investment in Mobility Hub features be justified and, if so, which features maximize its expected positive impact? Based on a review of literature and definition of possible Hub features as variables, secondary research data was compiled to enable the analysis of expected impacts of each variable/feature in terms of new user’s attraction and revenue generation, which was then used to develop individual Net Present Value analysis of each feature. The result of these analysis demonstrates and concludes that different Hub features have the potential to generate substantially different investment outcomes, and that each feature should be analyzed individually prior to investment decision. It was also concluded by this research that the proposed assessment methodology can be used for future research on other listed Hub features, albeit with the constraint that primary data will be required when secondary research data is not available.

Järnvägsstationer är att betrakta som offentliga platser och regleras av transportpolitiska målsättningar om jämställdhet och tillgänglighet för alla (Prop. 2008/09:93). Trots det saknas forskning om hur genus påverkar resenärer vid deras vardagliga vistelser på järnvägsstationer. Det övergripande syftet med denna avhandling är därför att ur ett genusperspektiv undersöka hur manliga och kvinnliga resenärer i sin vardag använder och upplever järnvägsstationer som fysiska platser och sociala rum. Det empiriska materialet baseras på resedagböcker, intervjuer med resenärer, deltagande observationer och intervjuer med planerare och förvaltare av järnvägsstationer. Kimstad pendeltågsstation, Norrköpings järnvägsstation och Stockholms Centralstation ingår i studien. I avhandlingen kombineras olika teorier som gör det möjligt att betrakta genus som rytm. Genom detta teoretiska ramverk undersöks hur genusmaktordningen återverkar i tid, rum och mobilitet. Resultaten av studien visar att resenärer är påverkade av genusmaktordningen, som återfinns såväl i kollektiva föreställningar som i materialiserade objekt som möter resenärer när de vistas på järnvägsstationerna. Sammanfattningsvis visar studien att såväl manliga som kvinnliga resenärer påverkas av denna maktordning. Även om denna ordning påverkar alla tycks kvinnor vara de som påverkas mest negativt, eftersom de genom en manlig normerad blick betraktas som antingen ärbara eller sexuellt tillgängliga objekt, därutöver att de är tvungna att förhålla sig till risken att utsättas för sexualiserat våld från män. Av dessa anledningar tenderar kvinnors livsrum att inskränkas, oavsett ålder och plats. / Railway stations are perceived as public spaces and are regulated by national transport goals of equality and accessibility for all (Prop. 2008/09:93). However, hardly any research has looked at how gender affects commuters in their daily life at railway stations. The overriding aim of this study is to examine how male and female commuters use and experience railway stations as gendered physical places and social spaces, during their daily travels. The empirical material is based on travel diaries, interviews with male and female commuters, participant observations inspired by auto-ethnography and interviews with planners and managers of the railway stations. Stations included in the study are Kimstad commuter rail station, Norrköping railway station and Stockholm Central station (all in Sweden). In this thesis this combination of theories makes it possible to define gender as rhythm. Through this theoretical frame the thesis analyses gendered power relations of bodies in time, space and mobility. Results from the study show that individuals are affected by gendered power relations that dwell in collective believes and in shape of materialized objects that encounter the commuter when visiting the railway station. In conclusion the study shows that both female and male commuters are affected by gender power relations while visiting railway stations. Even though they affect all, women seem to be most negatively affected by these power relations, since women by gender as rhythms are considered as either objects of decency or as sexually available to heterosexual men. Further, female bodies negotiate the risk of encountering sexual violence therefore gender as rythm tend to decrease the extent of women’s everyday living spaces, regardless of age and place.

The thesis target is to design construction treatments resulting in improving the passenger railway transport in this section. Planned modernization and electrification will change the transport nature significantly, which calls for an examination of the existing track possibilities. The task was to focus on the regarding stations as a crucial troughput aspect and on the travel quality improvment by minor construction adjustments. I have examined walking distances, designed a new Troubelice - Centrum stop. By convenient platform shifts higher velocities criteria were met. All precautions respect the wheelchair access. The station design allows higher velocities operation and do not restricts current use.
