It is not long ago that trams vanished from the image of the city. The bus or the underground were considered to be modern. Meanwhile trams are "in" again – not as a fashion, but on the basis of convincing strengths for urban development and urban mobility. Cities which held on to trams have a good starting position today to pursue a sustainable transport and urban development. This is particularly true for climate protection, the energy turnaround as well as municipal environmental protection.
But how can the extension and the operation of trams be financed? Which economic and social impacts do trams have in a city? Which different aims and strategic concepts do the municipalities and the transport enterprise follow? And what can Germany learn from other countries?
The special issue considers these and other questions from the perspective of science and practice – not without taking a glance at current and future developments.
