Strasbourg
Strasbourg is located in the northeastern France and is the official seat of the European Parliament.
The city is close enough to Germany to have a Germanic name. In 2006, the metropolitan area
had 638,000 inhabitants, the ninth largest in France.
Due to increasing traffic and pollution, the City of Strasbourg decided in the 1990s to build a new, modern
tram system. Its goal was to pedestrianize and revitalize the city centre. Major roads were closed to
automobile traffic, and stop parking in the downtown, and replaced by park-and-ride lots in the suburbs.
The Strasbourg tram system consists of six lines, A, B, C, D, E and F. Lines.The policy of the implementation of the Strasbourg tram system is an outstanding example
of good practice for the following reasons:
- Integrating transport planning and urban development;
- increase in the number of public transport passengers;
- reduction of through traffic in the city centre;
- innovative rolling stock;
- additional impact on other environmentally compatible means of transport.

ストラスブルグはドイツ国境に近く、ライン河に面した都市で、その語源はドイツ語で「街道の街」であり、交通の
要衝として栄えた。ライン川にはフランス最大の河川港をもち、交通の便の良さから商工業が盛んである。ドイツと
フランスが領有権を争った土地でもある。ストラスブルグ駅の端にあるホームにはドイツ鉄道の車両が乗り入れている。
フランス国鉄、TGVによりパリ東駅と2時間20分で結ばれている。
ストラスブルグのトラムは1994年より運行されている。非常に斬新なデザインであり、トラム導入とともに都心の
歩行者専用ゾーン化・トラムの停留所設備の整備と一体化した景観整備なども行った。トラム導入後は公共交通の
乗客数は大幅に増加し、なおかつ再開発が非常に高く評価され、交通まちづくりの先進事例として評価が高い。
