REAL CORP 008: Transport Hubs as Innovation Hubs

Transport hubs are nerve centers of our modern mobile society and
rapidly become economic centers - the new "Airport Cities" are
remarkable examples.

Where many people come together information and knowledge is shared
and new ideas are created, and so airports, train stations, motorway
rests become knowledge- and innovation hubs.

The international conference REAL CORP 008 focuses on these 21st-
century-transport- and innovation-hubs that are exceptionally
challenging for urban and transport planning, architecture and real
estate development.

Some of the questions to be dealt with:
How can the role of transport hubs as innovation hubs be improved?
Which technologies ensure the reliable functioning of the hubs and
what further improvement is needed?
How can anticipatory planning ensure the sustainable development of
those structures?
How can unmeant spatial developments be avoided and environmental
impacts be dealt with?
