Tramway revival in France

Authors

  • Mg. Ismael Calabrán Guerrero Paris, France

Abstract

Nowadays, the tramway in France surprises with an explosive comeback. Many are the cities that have implemented it in recent years, a phenomenon that appeared with strength due to the political context that sustains it. Which interests does the reintroduction of the tramway as a means of transport in French cities respond to? Has it become a fashionable effect? The case studies of Strasbourg and Aubagne are both interesting scenarios to deepen and illustrate these questions. The main objective of this paper is to understand the strategies behind the French model in order to present elements that could fuel the discussion on the convenience of the implementation of modern tramways in Chile.

Keywords:
