Abstract

How can a transportation hub go beyond just serving the communities transportation needs of a city and create a center of activity. This project looks to explore the transportation hub and how it can become more than just a hub for travel. During travels to many European Cities I had found that many of these cities have a transportation system that incorporate many amenities and become an epicenter for activity. Cincinnati, Ohio is a city which is in the process of being overhauled along the riverbank of the Ohio River. This area called “The Banks,” is already becoming a great place of activity in the city with both the Bengals and Reds stadiums along it as well as farmers markets on the weekend. The Cincinnati Union Underground Hub will be the center of activity. This transportation hub will use the existing infrastructure from the failed Cincinnati subway system which was never opened and create a way for people in the suburbs of Cincinnati an easy way to get into the city and avoid traffic on the roads. This will also create an epicenter of activity for the whole city.
