Abstract
The modern way of life is conditioned by fast transportation. This in turn requires integration of
many additional contents that opens the opportunity to the passengers for quick access to their
target - food, accommodation, entertainment, communication.
Considering the above, the Transport hub transforms into a new type of transformative
megastructure which in itself should contain all these functions and also be an attractor for the
local population as well as try to help the modern city in the pursuit of constant development.
The distance of the existing railway station (3.7km from the city centre) makes it hardly
accessible to the population, therefore it is neglected and the rail traffic in the city of Kumanovo is
minimized. On the other hand, the bus station has a good location, but the building is in poor
condition, which impedes the functioning of the city and intercity bus service. A segment of the
railroad from the proposed "Corridor 8" transits adjacent to the existing bus station, which opens
the question of the importance of rail transport and its impact in the further development of the
city. These considerations clearly indicate the need to establish an integrated transport hub,
whose proposed location touches the downtown area, but is still in the zone between the city and
the suburbia, which includes adjoining contents such as: retail, hospitality and culture, which will
help achieve the goal of the transport hub as a starting point of development of a new city
nucleus, a new point in the city.
