The erosion of biodiversity constitutes the main ecological impact of urbanisation and concerns all urban agglomerations through a combined effect of urban and transportation infrastructure developments (Antrop, 2004). Acting as nodal points and interfaces between network and territories, (Fusco, 2010, railway stations and their neighbouring districts, can play an important part in improving urban natural habitats (Borda-de-Água & al., 2017). The planning of railway stations and their neighbouring districts raises complex urban governance challenges in terms of decision-making processes and in terms of technical constraints, even in prospective terms
Based on the Frugacité* research project, our proposal aims at studying railway stations and their neighbouring districts through the conceptual framework of urban socio-ecological systems by articulating environmental processes and socio-political dimensions (McGinnis et Ostrom, 2004). Our approach will focus on a participatory (geo)graphical modelling of railway station systems with a multi-level approach integrating ecological processes (animal species flows), spatial practices (human flows) and governance challenges. This modelling involves a co-constructed approach between researchers and stakeholders through a series of workshops (Erixon Aalto et al., 2018). This presentation will therefore explore the integration of railway systems in the urban landscape through the lenses of both ecological and socio-political issues.

*The Frugacité project (FoRmes Urbaines des quartiers de Gare ou à fortes Contraintes et biodiversITÉ – Biodiversity and Morphology of railway station and technicallyconstrained districts) is a participatory action research program, lauched in response to a PUCA funding opportunity announcement, called BAUM.
