Comment le site peut-il contribuer à la ville adaptable ? (en anglais)

Irun's railway yards cover a large strip of land, cutting a spatial and functional gap through the central urban area and spilling into Hendaye, across the French border. This space is crucial for the city given the enormous territorial implantation of the railway infrastructure in Irun. Currently the two existing railway networks are engaged in a process of renovation and remodelling in order to improve the standard of service for both passengers and freight in the context of the arrival of the TGV line and its Basque "Y" configuration. In this context, the new urban renewal project for the railway area is therefore viewed as a priority objective in order to improve the integration of the railway infrastructure into the urban environment, in consultation with the relevant authorities and public bodies.
