Observation of the relationship between infrastructures and landscape allows policies and fi elds of investigation often far from each other to be viewed as one: movement practices, rail mobility policies and infrastructure architecture and the surrounding landscape. The crisis of small and medium-sized stations and the processes of the transformation of the regional rail network bring out planning themes such as: the quality of railway architecture and its capacity to integrate and interpret locally with respect to ‘blandifi cation’ processes; the issue of manning and maintaining stations and their security; the search for ‘intermodality’ which goes beyond changing from car to train, but which refl ects the whole fi eld of accessibility; the construction of new relations between town and station, able to manage the complexity of movements.

Keywords: Stations; planning; context
