The impressive array of innovations and successes in this report has been driven by the communities themselves, with support from industry, with a vision of getting more from their railways and making a difference to local people. Their efforts are returning many stations to the heart of the community, creating hubs for arts, education, enterprise, volunteering, healthy living, and social interaction. In turn, this generates pride and interest in the railway from the community, enhancing stations, and providing a warm welcome for rail passengers.

Purpose of Report This is a report of the findings of a health stakeholder event with the City Plan Team which provided a retrospective analysis of how health was integrated in City Plan 2 and identified potential health impacts of City Plan 3. The workshop was held in The Mitchell Library on 1 March 2010. Findings in this report are based on the knowledge and experience of those present at the workshop, thus is not a definitive statement or assessment; however appendices are attached that summarise relevant research findings. This report describes the process, the discussions at the tables and the results of the prioritisation exercise. It will contribute to the consultation for City Plan 3. 2. Background The 2006 Planning Act in Scotland requires all local planning authorities to prepare a local development plan scheme to guide new development and regeneration.

  • The Stations of Value
    THE VALUE OF STATIONS “GOOD TRANSPORT HELPS PEOPLE GET AROUND AND GET ON AND IS CRUCIAL TO DRIVING ECONOMIC GROWTH.

Working with these stakeholders is critical to unlocking the potential of a station and capturing its true value as a growth enabler and successfully navigating the planning stages of scheme development. ˝°DEVELOPMENT OF ˝ˆDESIGNING FOR INTRO THE VALUE PROPOSITION RESILIENCE Stations are no longer places that For a new station to be transformative, people just pass through, they are the station must deliver both function and Stations tend to be there for longer than places where people live, work and experience. Function means the station will the surrounding built environment, so they shop and can form the very heart deliver the capacity and throughput to avoid need to be able to accommodate impacts of of our communities. Stations can congestion and delay. Experience means economic, social and technological changes be transformative – the catalyst for that the design will promote other attributes that will happen over time.
