See how the UITP Design & Culture committee is helping Paris use art and design to create unforgettable experiences on the Grand Paris Express.
Culture
Public transport is a community space. As people move in their cities, art, architecture, and design can inspire them – making it the place to be. That’s why UITP advances culture in public transport.

Culture & UITP
Culture and design goes beyond aesthetics – they influence how we connect, move, and grow.
Comfortable vehicles, inclusive signage, and well-designed stations enhance safety, accessibility, and the passenger experience; and all this makes public transport a place to be, not just to pass through.
At the same time, art and architecture enrich urban landscapes and reflect local identities. So, it is only natural to integrate it into public transport, which serves as a community space for millions every day.
UITP is the public transport sector’s global platform to exchange and develop knowledge on culture and design. Ultimately, so that we can craft people-centric solutions and create urban spaces that are both functional and welcoming.
