Infrastructure comprises the core services that urban areas must provide to ensure access to essential health and well-being standards, such as basic sanitation, energy, roads, transportation, and communication. Beyond being a functional network, infrastructure plays a transformative role in shaping how people live, work, and connect. Train stations, for instance, extend beyond their mobility functions to become centers of social interaction, economic hubs, and symbols of sustainable development. Their design reflects a delicate balance between functionality, safety, and architectural value, illustrating how infrastructure can enhance and transform urban experiences.
