Enhancing Tourist Experience in Public Transit Spaces through Biophilic Design

Public transit spaces play a vital role in urban mobility, serving both commuters and tourists. This study explores enhancing these hubs through Biophilic Design in placemaking by integrating cultural, historical, and social elements. A narrative literature review and interviews with users inform a user-centric framework that bridges the nature and built environments. Such a design can boost satisfaction, foster community unity, and enrich social interactions. By transforming transit spaces into engaging destinations, these strategies aim to revitalise urban areas, enhance the tourism experience, and stimulate local economies, positioning transit hubs as key contributors to vibrant, sustainable urban tourism.
