ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
abstract: This report aims to study to what extent the users’ experience in the redevelopment of the Groningen railway station area are being considered in the new project plans. Currently, the municipality of Groningen is developing the railway station area and aims to enhance this area in terms of vibrancy and increase the overall user experience for all kinds of users. However, the project is of large size making it a complex matter. By conducting on-site observations, policy analyses, and semi-structured interviews, the research paper provides an analysis of the users’ experiences that have been considered in these plans. This, together with a literature review and theoretical framework, results in the fact that users are often addressed in general and not group specific. In addition, the current method of participation attracts residents but may not be representative for the users. Planners need to recognize that residents are not the only users of the area.
