With nearly 230,000 km of tracks and 30,000 stations, Europe is home to the world’s densest and most interconnected rail network — a living infrastructure where tens of millions of people cross paths every day.
These stations are far more than simple transit points: they are cultural landmarks, witnesses to Europe’s rich and diverse heritage.
They are also vital gateways to a low-carbon future: for every percentage point of modal share shifted from carbon-based modes to rail, Europe avoids emitting over 7 million tons of CO₂ annually — equivalent to the yearly emissions of large cities or even small European countries!
At AREP, we are committed to enhancing this exceptional heritage. Through renovation, innovation, and sustainable design, we help transform stations into vibrant spaces that respond to the needs and challenges of tomorrow — climate change, inclusivity, and urban transition.
