The new history of a new Łódź multimodal station, its functions and surroundings has few milestones – in 2007 (concept), the feasibility study (2011) and the technical documentation (2013), than implementation stages (2012-2016). Designed using the best foreign experience in the field of multimodal railway and buses hubs. Its multifunctionality facilitates interchanges between different means of transport, contributing to the time reduction in the door-to-door journey. At the same time, the building an underground station enabled freeing a significant space for urban functions which was up till now an example of a deurbanized part of the city center.
