    Artículo publicado en la revista Architecture, City and Environment Khairullina, E. y Santos y Ganges, L. (2021). Los tranvías en los países del socialismo real de los años 1960: de la crisis al impulso. ACE: Architecture, City and Environment, 16(46), 9260. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5821/ace.16.46.9260 Los tranvías en los países del socialismo real de los años 1960 y 1970: de la crisis al impulso Elvira Khairullina, Luis Santos y Ganges Resumen Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la reconstrucción y el desarrollo del sistema tranviario en los países europeos del socialismo real fue, cuando menos, dubitativo y muy diferenciado. Durante las décadas de 1950 y 1960, tanto en Occidente como en Oriente, la carretera se convirtió en el medio universal de transporte y el Movimiento Moderno triunfó en el urbanismo, de modo que el sistema tranviario se vio como un medio de transporte vetusto e inadaptado, sin futuro, frente a los automóviles y autobuses. Sin embargo, el impulso industrial y el fuerte crecimiento urbano desde mediados de los años 1960, implicó en los países del socialismo real el desarrollo de la infraestructura tranviaria y de nuevos modelos de material rodante, así como la coordinación de su funcionamiento en el sistema de transporte urbano-suburbano. El objetivo de este artículo de historia urbana y del transporte es dar cuenta del período de renacimiento tranviario en la Europa del socialismo real durante las décadas de 1960 y 1970, con sus contradicciones y problemas, y, en concreto, explicar la implementación del tranvía rápido en muchas de sus ciudades.

They committed themselves to keep rise in average global temperature below 2°C, which means a 70% GHG emissions reduction between 2010 and 2050*.

  • Des Tramways Nommés Désirs
    Métropolitiques, 13 février 2015 Des tramways nommés désirs Entre design et urbanisme fictionnel des réseaux de transport Luc Gwiazdzinski (*) En prenant comme clef de lecture le tramway, l’article propose une analyse originale et critique des mutations qui affectent la ville et la fabrique urbaine contemporaines. Il montre en particulier comment le tramway, en tant que vecteur de requalification urbaine, est utilisé pour mettre en scène la ville. L’humanité a toujours su cultiver l’art de raconter des histoires, un art partout au cœur du lien social (Salmon 2007). Depuis quelques années, les relations entre la production urbaine et la fiction, histoire fondée sur des faits imaginaires plutôt que sur des faits réels, se modifient dans un contexte de concurrence territoriale exacerbée où le design, « partie du processus comprise entre la problématique et les résultats » (Raynaud et Wollf 2009), acquiert une place de plus en plus importante et contribue à un « urbanisme fictionnel » (Matthey 2011) qui englobe même la production des réseaux de transport comme le tramway. À la fois réseau de transport et objet technique roulant, celui-ci est devenu un enjeu électoral majeur susceptible de faire basculer des majorités municipales, un vecteur de la requalification urbaine attendu dans les centres et les périphéries, et un outil indispensable de l’élu local aux côtés du vélo en libre service et de l’événementiel d’agglomération. Depuis quelques années, les nouvelles attentes en termes de développement durable et de marketing urbain en ont fait un objet de désir, une icône sacralisée et un symbole des mutations qui affectent la ville et la fabrique urbaine.

    Competitive EUROPEAN CONFERENCE OF MINISTERS OF TRANSPORT Tendering of Rail Competitive tendering Services provides a way to introduce Competitive competition to railways whilst preserving an integrated network of services. It has been used for freight Tendering railways in some countries but is particularly attractive for passenger networks when subsidised services make competition of Rail between trains serving the same routes difficult or impossible to organise. Services Governments promote competition in railways to Competitive Tendering reduce costs, not least to the tax payer, and to improve levels of service to customers. Concessions are also designed to bring much needed private capital into the rail industry. The success of competitive tendering in achieving these outcomes depends critically on the way risks are assigned between the government and private train operators. It also depends on the transparency and durability of the regulatory framework established to protect both the public interest and the interests of concession holders, and on the incentives created by franchise agreements. This report examines experience to date from around the world in competitively tendering rail services. It seeks to draw lessons for effective design of concessions and regulation from both of the successful and less successful cases examined. The work RailServices is based on detailed examinations by leading experts of the experience of passenger rail concessions in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands.
