as objects of design
and territorial marketing
Slide 221/04/23
Introduction •A
tramway is first of all a mean of transport. But at the same time it is able to reflect the soul of the city : culture, history and ambitions
•Pink colored or flowery , champagne glass headshaped or boat headshaped… tramways are more and more visible in the streets of France.
•They became design objects. They are tools for territorial marketing and represent the towns image in the european urban competition
Slide 321/04/23
•Apart from 3 towns (Saint-Etienne, Lille and Marseille), french towns got rid of their tramways in the 30s’ and 70s’
•This mean french cities have to « re-invent » the tramway. Strasbourg was the 1st city to do it un 1994 with a design tram
•Other european countries (Belgium, Germany…) kept their tram. They kept working with « traditional tramways »

3 design projects were in competition. The choice was made by the citizens and the local council after a local consultation.
The office who won the competition (design office CP ) had the idea that the future tramway of Tours had to become the 4th landscape of the town. The other landscape being the center, The river Loire and the city gardens.
•The outside of the tram is like a mirror and reflect thus the city
The wireless ground-level power-supply system which will be in service on the tramway reinforce the beauty of the rolling stock . A lot of cities in France has adopted this technology in order to preserve historical heritage (Angers, Bordeaux, Orleans and Reims.)

In keeping with the Toulouse’s reputation as a world leader in technology, the insides and outsides of Toulouse’s trams were designed jointly by specialists from Alstom and from Airbus, thus combining modern design and mobility on land as in the skies.
The tramway has a aerodynamic shape. It is meant to underline the link between Toulouse and the aeronautics industry

REIMS Sparkling design for the future tram of Reims
•This first pink-coloured tramset embodied the aesthetic choice of the city of Reims.
•Teams from Alstom Transport’s Design & Styling department and the MBD Design agency collaborated on the colour approach designed by Rudy Bauer, approved by the people of Reims and chosen for the city’s visual identity project.
•Each of the 18 cars will sport one of the eight hues selected by Reims Métropole: yellow, orange, red, purple, pink, blue, turquoise and green.
•The colour scheme is repeated in the interior fittings. Another distinctive feature of the Reims tram design is a front side that evokes a champagne flute.

Montpellier
The famous designers Garouste and Bonetti decorated the trams that run on the 19 km of lines with designs that reflect the vitality and ebullience of the Hérault’s largest city :
a motif of swallows for the 130 000 passengers who travel daily on line1, and of flowers for the 40 000 users of line 2.
For the future line 3, the outside aspect of the tram has been designed by the tailor Christian Lacroix . The design evokes the univers of the mediterranean sea and the colour of south of France

Disavantages•I
t must be a real choice of the administration because it is more expensive than standard version (chairs, paints…)
•Difficult to sell it afterwards
•Problem in terms of exploitation (Montpellier, rolling stock is dedicated to a specific line and cannot be used on others)
•Reinforce the rigidity of the system due to the non standardisation of the design)
