The document discusses the design of future transport stations as integrated hubs. It notes that safe, public transportation is essential for economic development. Contemporary station design calls for stations to be transit hubs with easily accessible, open spaces to facilitate passenger flow. Stations should also serve as visible gateways within the wider urban context. The document then examines station design projects in South Africa and the Western Cape specifically, including the modernization of several stations by PRASA to create safer, more accessible spaces and better integrate the stations within their local communities.
