ABSTRACT: Urban rail transit has been developed rapidly in high density cities in East
Asia. The node space of the pedestrian system in the rail transit hub area is
the main carrier of the social public life, but its performance in usability and
readability is negative. Based on the recent development cases in many cities
of China and Japan, this paper puts forward the modes and approaches of
node activation from three aspects of aggregation, ecology and humanity,
which can be used as a reference for urban vitality promotion in the rail transit
hub area.
