Abstract The redevelopment of railways stations and their surrounding neighbourhoods offers many opportunities in terms of regeneration, yet there are also concerns over the potential gentrification of areas and displacement of the existing population and local businesses. The most prominent voice on these issues is typically from the project promoter, reflecting their position of power in the decision-making process, but there are other voices to be understood, including varied views from the local community. This paper uses Q methodology to develop discourses associated with the proposed High Speed Two project and redevelopment of Euston station and the surrounding neighbourhoods. 28 in-depth surveys are used with local residents, local employees, politicians, local government officers and academics, covering attitudes to the proposed Euston redevelopment. The Q method analysis highlights three major discourses: the ‘Community Activist’, the ‘Rail Promoter’, and the ‘Optimistic Practitioner’. Understanding these different discourses, and their components, is important for decision-makers in ensuring that investment strategies can better reflect the different viewpoints evident in the public domain. Ultimately, this can help to improve the social consequences of transport investment.

尤斯顿车站重建：再生还是高档化？

摘要 火车站及其周边社区的重建为再生提供了许多机会，但也存在对地区潜在的高档化以及现有人口和当地企业的迁移的担忧。这些问题上最突出的声音通常来自项目发起人，反映了他们在决策过程中的权力地位，但也有其他声音需要理解，包括来自当地社区的不同意见。本文使用 Q 方法来展开与拟议的高速二号项目和尤斯顿车站及周边社区的重建相关的讨论。对当地居民、当地雇员、政治家、当地政府官员和学者进行了 28 项深入调查，涵盖对拟议的尤斯顿重建的态度。Q 方法分析突出了三个主要话语：“社区活动家”、“铁路推动者”和“乐观实践者”。了解这些不同的话语及其组成部分，对于决策者确保投资策略能够更好地反映公共领域中显而易见的不同观点非常重要。最终，这有助于改善交通投资的社会后果。
