Abstract

Various French cities researched and implemented LRT systems from the onset of LRT with some cutting edge construction projects still in progress. In a recent project in Montpellier, an artist designed avant-garde LRT cars. The LRT projects, which run on street level and typically include the design of LRT rolling stock, tram stops and various related facilities, influence the creation of spacious pedestrian spaces. These pedestrian spaces often include elements such as fountains, benches and greenery that create new urban landscapes. In this paper, characteristic LRT design elements from the viewpoint of urban landscape are analyzed and clarified based on surveys performed September 2013 in Dijon, Brest, Toulouse, Tours and Montpellier.
