Creating Vibrant Hubs

Mobility hubs key in future.
Canada creates sterile environments vs Europe for example
What is a mobility hub?
NOT concrete box in urban parking lot
NOT simply a place to buy a ticket
What it should be – example Amsterdam’s Airport
Pedestrian friendly, hotel, shopping, transportation portals
Another: the Subway in Boston – deeper than Toronto, but environment feels open
Effective use of colour, ceiling height, lighting
Intersection of transportation services with effective land use
Parking areas should be temporary – a “landbank”
Must be willing to rethink use, create new options
Avoid the top-down bureaucratic planning process
Example: Toronto’s Union Station with the proliferation of chains franchises
Where is diversity – “Mom & Pop” operations
Commuters going from A to B. Rats running in a maze.
Remove boundaries to thinking.
Allow for organic planning process
Hubs in outer areas – suburbs – tend to feelings of being trapper, isolated
Parking areas – should be temporary; landbank;
Rethink use, rebuild an create new options
Don’t need to move the hub: make best use of existing facilities
What elements to add to increase vibrancy?
Is Art necessary?
News story: Renewed Museum Subway Station an Inspiring Step Forward for Toronto, April 8, 2008/CNW
Look at past history to see what worked ad what didn’t
Is vibrancy a function of population density.
Should we worry about setting standards too high?
Make Transit hubs a consideration of population planning.
Make accommodations for existing facilities in surrounding area
Design for the future, anticipate the future.
Do we really need multi function facilities?
.
Unique situation deserve unique solutions
Organic processes needed.
Unpopular building a habit – eg Toronto’s Dundas Square.
“Project for Public Spaces”
Think of what goes into a good space
Allow multiple partners in the planning & design process.
Use incremental design process
Won’t know what works until it happens
How do we get more ideas?
Plan to have a process
Look for impediments to having good spaces – eg. parking
Use Mental mapping: where are people going, where are they are not going
Use that to facilitate the process.
Example: Seating – a simple way to make people feel wanted.
What should a mobility hub be?
An interesting place for the captive audience –the commuter?
Or a place to draw other groups within the community?
Who are the stakeholders?
Who will be the early adopters?
Changing peoples’ views an essential part of planning process.
Recognize no one grand architect in the design and planning process.
