The solution of modern transport systems represents a harmony of technology and art, linking transport, engineering and structural engineering with urbanism, architecture and design. The distinctive uniformity, often oversized by traffic constructions of the second half of the last century, led to a misunderstanding of the meaning of the existence of traffic in the city and the view that traffic constructions pose a threat to otherwise cultivated urban environments. However, the word 'urban' in the designation of public transport does not only mean the definition of the action radius of this transport segment, but also indirectly refers to the urban design of public transport systems. This manifests itself not only in extensively developing settlement units, but also affects the environment of existing urbanized areas. Nowadays, the city-forming effect of transport structures is repeatedly neglected. At the same time, transport constructions create the cultural values of the landscape and the image of cities and their quality is not only economically difficult to quantify. The past three decades, marked by the boom of modern public transport systems, especially rail, in Western Europe are clear proof of this. The aim of the project is to define and describe the characteristic requirements, properties, broader context and influences that influence the solution of public transport hubs not only operationally but also lead to their successful solution in terms of urban planning, architecture as an integral part quality public space.
