Abstract
This article presents selected issues from the research project entitled “W ę z ł y i korytarze rozwoju funkcji metropolitalnych Rzeszowa”, which was carried out by a team of Rzeszów University of Technology employees for the Rzeszów City Development Office. The project aimed to develop an urban construction model and identify areas with high development potential. One of the most important nodes is Rzeszów Główny railway station.
The publication discusses the historical importance of railway stations as elements of cultural heritage and presents selected revitalisation projects from Europe and Poland. The author defines mobility and transport nodes, using these definitions to contextualise the city of Rzeszów within the development of mobility nodes. The remainder of the article focuses on the railway station, first examining its construction history and architectural transformations, and then considering it as part of the Rzeszowskie Centrum Komunikacyjne.
