Abstract : Major investments on High Speed Rail (HSR) systems have been carried out all over the world. The existing and
planned lines generate many expectations in served cities in terms of economic growth. In particular, HSR is
intended to increase the number of business travellers and to foster economic activity by encouraging the
development of offices in and around the railway stations. Using innovation service theories, we show that HSR
service can be analysed as service innovations. Based on the case study of France and Italy, we sustain that these
innovations can be of interest of both public and private actors in terms of urban renewal. We show that, in these
two countries, there is the same kind of "behaviour" with respect to these innovations in terms of producing
temporary office spaces in and around rail stations. The result is that HSR stations become working spaces and
therefore important "places".
