Re-development vision of Vilnius city bus station territory presents a comprehensive strategy project of the territory renewal. It harmoniously blends into the densifying fabric of the central part of capital city Vilnius (Naujamiestis district area) and responds to the growing needs of the transport system and the city.

The project area today is monofunctional, with bus parking areas occupying the largest territory area and bus station building being a low volume. The project aims to make the area more vibrant and attractive to people by creating new public spaces and optimizing transport operations. Historic continuations of Sodų and Stepono streets are restored, which now are blocked. It creates a distribution of car-traffic through slow traffic streets. Pedestrian or bicycle movement becomes attractive through creation of new lanes. The newly built volumes are supplemented with functions that meet the current needs of the city (commerce, residential). Through extensive study of European good practices in station typology our our goal is to create synergy between the close by railway station and to form a unified vision in the area that will invite citizens to rediscover this part of the city.
