Riobamba y el ferrocarril. Nuevas dinámicas de intercambio regional en el primer cuarto del siglo XX (Estudios)

Abstract:

This artic1e analyzes the conflicts that the passage of the railway through Riobamba provoked. It describes the struggle for the rectification of the railway that linked the cities of Guayaquil and Quito, and underlines the local conflicts and aspirations related with the new means of transport. The study indicates the reactions of Riobamba public opinion exposed in its local press, and the positions of both the government and the company that constructed the railway. In addition, it studies the consequences that stemmed from the passage of the railroad: the expansion of the internal market as a result of the increase of interregional trade, the development of the settlements situated along the route of the railway and the acceleration of interchange of persons and goods.
