#U/C [Germany] Stuttgart 21

[Norman]

This massive project in my old home town of Stuttgart is starting to take shape. The project involves turning Central Station by 90 Degrees to transform it from a ground level dead-end station to an underground through-flowing station. Cost is about $AU8b, and includes new development areas around where the tracks and railway storage used to be. The project also includes a new regional stop for the airport (a la Frankfurt Airport).

There is the general map, from Wikipedia:


The German website is here: http://www.stuttgart21.de/site/stuttgar ... start.html

Some of the renders from the site are below:








Attached you can see the birds eye view of part of the new development area. Lots of high-rises will spring up there, a la Docklands.

Yeah Germany has approx 4-5 times the population of Australia and i think Stuttgart+Suburbs has about 4 million people XD so $8billion is just spare change to their government...
