¿Es posible tener un Subte en Córdoba? El proyecto olvidado | Arq-nalizando #55

In this chapter, we'll explore the history of the Córdoba Subway Project. How close to becoming a reality was the project? Why did it fall through and get forgotten? Is it still feasible? Are there other ways to improve urban mobility? All these questions and more will be answered. First, I want to thank the guests who contributed their insights and opinions:    / @gabrielschraiber      / @rielesdelplata   https://www.linkedin.com/in/maria-jul... https://arqa.com/autores/alejandro-cohen Can you imagine a subway in Córdoba? A network of underground trains connecting the city, preventing traffic jams, and shortening distances. Well, in 2007, this wasn't just a dream. A serious project was announced, with companies involved, technical studies, and billions in investment. But today, 18 years later... nothing. What happened to the Córdoba subway? Today I'll tell you the story of the project that could have changed the city and disappeared without a trace. The year was 2007. The national government enthusiastically announced an ambitious transportation plan for Córdoba: a subway financed with public and private investment. Companies from France, Germany, and Argentina showed interest in the project. Everything seemed ready to begin. Finally, on July 13, 2010, the national government signed a pre-contract with China Railways. The cost would be $1.8 billion, financed by a Chinese bank. In February 2011, the project was unanimously approved by the City Council, which then finalized a technical study by the Municipality of Córdoba. A route was planned with three lines, 23 kilometers, and 26 stations. The construction of three maintenance workshops (one for each line) was also established. Line A: This was the longest of all. It ran west to east, starting from the El Tropezón roundabout. The line would cross the entire length of Avenida Colón and then a final section under Avenida 24 de Septiembre to Avenida Patria. It would have a length of 10.7 km, with 11 stations spaced 1,100 meters apart. Line B: Running south to north, it would begin at the Las Flores neighborhood roundabout. It would run under Avenida Vélez Sársfield, passing through Plaza de las Américas, then Avenida España, Boulevard Chacabuco, Avenida Maipú, and Juan B. Justo until reaching Belgrano Station. The line would be 6.5 km long. With a total of 8 stations spaced 800 meters apart, and Line C: Running from southwest to southeast, starting at the Rotonda del Ala roundabout on Av. Fuerza Aérea, continuing along Av. Roca, La Cañada, Bv. San Juan, and then under Av. Sabattini, where it ends at El Escorial Street. Its total length was 5.7 km, with 7 stations spaced 700 meters apart.
