The city of Utrecht is expanding, especially to the west. Thus, the number of people making use of inner city facilities is growing, whereas the number of centre facilities is not. The number of passengers handled by Utrecht Central Station will double in the next twenty years to some 100 million travellers per year. The current building cannot handle these numbers. Neither does the station have a main entrance on this important west side.
Towards an upgraded Station Area Utrecht
The City of Utrecht, ministries of Transport and Spatial Planning, and private companies Corio (owner shopping mall Hoog Catharijne), Jaarbeurs Utrecht (Trade fair grounds) and NS Real Estate (railroad company), are working together towards a complete makeover of the area. For this purpose, a master plan has been created and the designs for new buildings are finished. This site contains information about the master plan, all the projects in the Station area, maps, pictures and 3D-movies about the area and the plans.
