They can also travel on Europe’s most extensive and rapidly expanding high-speed rail system. At the start of 2012 high speed services operated over 2183 route-km. The transformation of Spain’s rail operations and infrastructure (Europe’s fifth largest in terms of route-km) has been phenomenal. In the context of the engineering challenges presented by some of Europe’s most mountainous terrain it is even more impressive. Political support from successive administrations nationally and regionally in the face of economic uncertainty has been underpinned by significant levels of EU funding. And a rail construction industry responding rapidly to the challenge has helped secure Spain’s position as a world leader in high-speed rail travel. In the international rail sector, Spanish companies represented by the trade association Mafex (Asociación de Fabricantes Exportadores de Material, Equipos y Servicios Ferroviarios) generated exports worth around EUR2 billion in 2011 (a 26.3 per cent increase from 2010). Open access continues to present new opportunities and challenges. In the passenger sector, which has been open to competition since 2010, RENFE Operadora, Spain’s national operator has signalled its intention to compete at home and abroad. In the freight sector, where a growing number of private operators are active, it has demonstrated a policy of competition and collaboration. Government at regional level in Spain is delivered by 17 autonomous communities. Each has an administrative capital with responsibility for delivering local transport policy. Significantly in the context of this report, those communities which have striven most to promote their own identity and culture (notably the Basque Country, Catalonia and Valencia) are those which have taken ownership of their local railways and done most to promote them. And throughout Spain investment is being committed to urban rail infrastructure to improve access to sustainable and affordable public transport and relieve congestion and pollution in cities. In Portugal the development of high-speed passenger services has been halted by the economic crisis. However, the government indicated in 2012 that installing a standard gauge rail connection between Atlantic ports and the European freight network remained a viable proposition. Portugal’s first private passenger rail operator has been in business since 1999 and since 2009 an open access freight operator has been running international services using its own locomotives in Spain. This report provides an overview of the structure of the rail systems and their relationship to national and local government. It contains a summary of the activities of passenger and freight operators in terms of investment, traffic, rolling stock and expansion. Urban rail projects are a particular feature of the transport scene in Spain and Portugal and their operations and planned developments are summarised. Website addresses are included to assist further research. July 2012 Mack Brooks Exhibitions Ltd © 2012 4 SPAIN 1. Government Ministerio de Fomento (Ministry of Public Works and Transport) (www.fomento.es ) Minister: Ana Pastor Secretary of State: Rafael Catalá Polo Director General Rail: Manuel Niño González Political and funding context After nearly eight years in opposition the centre-right Partído Popular was returned to power at the November 2011 general election. Ana Pastor was appointed to head the Ministerio de Fomento, giving her overall responsibility for transport policy. Within the ministry government policy on infrastructure, transport and housing became the responsibility of one Secretary of State (rather than three under the former administration) reporting to the Minister. Rail policy became the direct responsibility of the Dirección General de Ferrocarriles located in the infrastructure division. Plan de Infraestructuras, Transporte y Vivienda (Infrastructure, Transport and Housing) 2012 -24 (PITVI ) At the beginning of 2012 the government outlined its programmes and priorities for the infrastructure, transport and housing sectors that, subject to ratification in 2012, are intended to cover the period 2012-24. High level outcomes for the rail sector would include completion of the planned 1,435 mm gauge high speed network, investment in the existing 1,668 mm gauge system and improvement in the quality of suburban services. High speed rail construction projects with investment levels specified in PITVI : • Atlantic axis: Santiago-Vigo (EUR898 million) • Barcelona La Sagrera and Logroño stations (EUR698 million) • Castilla y León-Asturias: Venta de Baños-León-Pajares (EUR1.71 billion) • Lugo-Orense (EUR45 million) • Madrid Atocha-Chamartín (EUR630 million) • Madrid-Extremadura: Navalmoral-Cáceres-Badajoz (EUR2.65 billion) • Madrid-Galicia: Olmedo-Zamora-Orense-Vigo (EUR8.51 billion) • Madrid-Jaén: Alcázar-Manzanares; Linares-Casas de Torrubia; Grañena-Jaén (EUR239 million) • Madrid-País Vasco: Valladolid-Venta de Baños-Burgos-Vitoria-Y Vasca (EUR4.32 billion) Mack Brooks Exhibitions Ltd © 2012 5 • Mediterranean corridor covering the sections: Barcelona-French border; La Encina- Valencia; Albacete-Alicante; Alicante-Murcia; Murcia- Almería; Murcia-Cartagena; Antequera-Granada; Granada- Algeciras (EUR6.54 billion) • Mediterranean corridor connection at Tarragona with the Madrid-Barcelona high speed line (EUR380 million) • Navarra corridor: Castejón-Pamplona (EUR875 million) • Palencia-Santander (EUR3.4 billion) • Seville-Cádiz (EUR195 million) • Seville-Huelva (EUR1.2 billion) • Valencia-Castellón (EUR800 million) Open access and regulation Spain’s rail network was opened to competition in accordance with EU regulations at the beginning of 2006 for freight and 2010 for passenger operations. The Rail Directorate at the Ministerio de Fomento is responsible for the issue and revoking of rail licences. Whilst the first open access passenger operators has yet to begin operating, a growing number of companies (see Section 5 of this report) have been granted licences and safety certificates to operate freight services. European Projects Spain is taking forward a number of rail projects central to EU transport policy including: • Extending the Madrid Puerta de Atocha-Barcelona Sants high-speed line (which opened in 2008) to Figueres and the border with France to connect with the European high speed network. • Extending the Madrid Chamartín-Valladolid high-speed line (which opened in 2007) to Burgos, Vitoria and the border with France to form part of the European Atlantic rail corridor. • Construction of the high-speed link from Madrid to Badajoz Badajoz (intended to have formed part of the Madrid-Lisboa high speed line prior to the cancellation of 1,435 mm gauge high speed rail construction projects in Portugal).

  • Espaços Infraestruturais E Vacância: Traços Diacrónicos Na Formação Do Território Metropolitano De Lisboa
    Finisterra, LIII, 108, 2018, pp. 135 -159 ISSN: 0430-5027 doi: 10.18055/Finis12057 Artigo ESPAÇOS INFRAESTRUTURAIS E VACÂNCIA: TRAÇOS DIACRÓNICOS NA FORMAÇÃO DO TERRITÓRIO METROPOLITANO DE LISBOA João Rafael Santos1 RESUMO – A formação do território metropolitano de Lisboa assentou numa com- plexa articulação entre o suporte fisiográfico e hidrográfico e o traçado de diversas redes infraestruturais, nomeadamente rodoviárias e ferroviárias, aterros e espaços portuários, limites e estruturas militares. Dessa articulação resultaram espaços de interface com tecidos urbanos de diversa natureza. A sua reconstituição e interpretação cartográfica permite descodificar as lógicas subjacentes aos processos de territorialização que, frequentemente, coexistem e se sobrepõem, resultantes também de alterações de uso e de racionalidade programática. Numa perspetiva diacrónica, revelam -se os traços da sua transformação: adi- ções, justaposições, mas também persistências, subtrações e demolições. Alguns resultam fragmentados e desagregados, restos de estruturas que se perderam no esteio de mudanças tecnológicas e funcionais, descontinuados no espaço e no tempo. Espaços vacantes na atualidade, constituem áreas de oportunidade para intervenções tópicas, temporárias e imprevistas em lógicas de maior formalidade. Neste sentido, o artigo propõe uma leitura dos processos de infraestruturação do território metropolitano de Lisboa, focando -se no solo portuário e industrial e nas coroas de circulação, demarcação militar e equipamento da capital, articulando -a com o reconhecimento de espaços vacantes na atualidade. A partir desse confronto, propõe -se uma interpretação territorializada das relações entre infraestru- turação e produção de vacâncias segundo uma pauta tipológica e temporal. Palavras -chave: Infraestruturas; espaços vacantes; áreas metropolitanas; Lisboa. ABSTRACT – INFRASTRUCTURAL SPACES AND VACANCY: DIACHRONIC TRACES IN THE SHAPING OF LISBON’S METROPOLITAN TERRITORY.

    Fourth LACCEI International Latin American and Caribbean Conference for Engineering and Technology (LACCET’2006) “Breaking Frontiers and Barriers in Engineering: Education, Research and Practice” 21-23 June 2006, Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. Innovative Techniques in Planning and Finance of Public Transportation Projects: Lessons Learned and its Applications Ildefonso Burgos-Gil, PE, MCE General Manager for Mass Transit Development, Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority, San Juan, PR, USA, [email protected] Abstract The International Transit Studies Program (ITSP) conducts two study missions each year to provide transit managers from across the United States the opportunity to examine public transportation practices in other countries and regions, with the goal of encouraging innovation domestically. The program is sponsored by the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP), funded by the Federal Transit Administration, and managed by the Eno Transportation Foundation. The subject for the 2005 Fall Study Mission was Innovative Techniques in Planning and Finance of Public Transportation Projects. The mission studied systems in Barcelona, Spain; Copenhagen, Denmark; Shanghai, China; and Osaka, Japan. As a participant, the author had the opportunity to meet with the managers for the different systems and learn and document the experience. This paper presents a more detailed insight on the author’s assigned studied systems in Barcelona, the way it has been integrated to become an effective transit system, its financial model, the lessons learned and its possible applications in Puerto Rico and elsewhere. Keywords integration, transit, planning, finance, public private partnership 1.
