New Urban Core (The Hub: San Sai – Doi Saket)

The San Sai – Doi Saket Urban Hub represents a scenario-based interpretation of a future Smart Mobility Core for Chiang Mai, conceptually informed by Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) principles. It is intended to illustrate how mobility systems, urban functions, and economic activities might be structured within a new urban core over an extended planning horizon.

• Primary Role of the Hub
  Illustrated as a conceptual intermodal interchange exploring potential relationships between rail, road, and air-based mobility systems within a long-term scenario context.
• Key Infrastructure Components
  • Central Station - A conceptual unified mobility facility illustrating integrated ticketing logic and coordinated transfer experiences across multiple transport modes.
  • Smart Parking - Scenario-based large-scale intelligent parking concepts illustrating Park & Ride strategies designed to reduce private vehicle penetration into central urban areas.
  • Commercial & Residential Zone - Illustrative mixed-use development concepts—including commercial, hospitality, and residential functions—used to explore the idea of a self-contained urban district.
