Public transport node Voorburg
The city of Leidschendam-Voorburg [the Netherlands] has recently approved the design for a extensive transformation of the Station area.
The urban plan, designed by POSAD spatial strategies, connects the different scales that are present, such as the historical center of Voorburg and the adjacent Binckhorst business park. The array of functions of the transport hub - railway, tram, bicycle and bus connections - will profit from this strategic transformation.The station area of Voorburg may be regarded as one of the most important transportation hubs of the Haaglanden district. In the eighties, railroads and highway were elevated and tram, bus and city traffic were positioned beneath the viaduct. This improved the flow of traffic, but at the same time divided historic city structures. In the years to come, several attempts were made to mend this scar but it became clear the solution should entail an emphasis on quality.The promenadeOffers a robust and secure pedestrian route between
the historic center and the Binckhorst businesspark. The 600 metre long route structures and connects
the different functions of the transport hub with landscape and park. Instead of denying the large overpass, it uses the superimposed diagonal line to bring
balance to the various historic layers and functions.Optimal transitThe transit between the different ways of
transport is simplified and the passengers will experience a
clear, pleasant and safe public area. Aside from the masterplan, POSAD will design various architectural elements like
the tram stop, benches and lighting elements. The station square
will have a multifunctional character, so markets and other social gatherings are an
option.Spatial optionsThe Voorburg station will function as the main public
transportation hub for the Binckhorst businesspark, being one of the key urban
developments of the Haaglanden region in the decades to come. The urban plan
provides a solution that transcends the municipal boundaries and
will provide a future-proof
alternative for high quality public transport.“ If you limit your design to a single scale, the plan will fail in the
complete context," according to POSAD principal Han Dijk, referring
to the complex coherence between the different scales of the project.
