• Resumen

  • Drawing on work conducted as part of the EU-supported project �Sintropher�, this paper focuses on a comparative analysis between two tramway systems in Nottingham (UK) and Valenciennes (FRA). The aim is to understand how these tram-based systems were successfully integrated into their respective urban areas. Firstly, we describe the national contexts concerning assessments of urban public transport policies. Secondly, we analyse the two tram projects, and especially their territorial dynamics. Thirdly, we consider urban transformations that have occurred around their terminal stations in Hucknall (Nottingham) and Denain (Valenciennes).
