Project Summary
For the FIFA World Cup 2014, 5,000 car-parking spaces will be needed at the soccer stadium. The Multimodal transport hub upgrade, however, takes the idea for a car park above the train lines much further – a main station will link all public transport, serve as a connection platform for pedestrians and cyclists, and include a public park in its design.
