ABSTRACT
In principle, the starting point of analysis should be the railway station area itself, the object of redevelopment. However, as the pressure for transformation is fuelled by developments in the wider context, that wider field becomes so predominant that it should be considered first. Analysis of the redevelopment process becomes important at a later stage. Context variables show their relevance, as much of the variety in outcomes can be explained by referring to these variables, either in the direct context (the national planning system, or changes in transport policy, for example) or in the wider context (technological developments, economic developments, etc.).
