The Spanish railway network, 1848–2023
GIS data on the evolution of railway networks facilitate the study of the role played by the expansion of transport infrastructure since the industrial revolution. The arrival of the railway transformed economic and social activity and the distribution of population within the territory. Given their importance, we have reconstructed and digitised the layout of the railway lines and the location of the stations and halts that existed from the open…

European Regions, 1870 – 2020: A Geographic and Historical Insight into the Process of European Integration
Railroad Integration and Uneven Development on the European Periphery, 1870–1910
This study explores the relationship between railroad integration and regional development on the European periphery between 1870 and 1910, based on a regional data set including 291 spatial units. Railroad integration is proxied by railroad density, while per capita GDP is used as an indicator of economic development. The period under study is of particular relevance as it has been associated with the second wave of railroad construction in Euro…
The Radiality of the Railway Network in Spain during its Early Stages (1830–67): An Assessment of its Territorial Coherence
The initial period of construction of the Spanish railway network is often criticized for its radial structure, centered on Madrid. In this article, the authors describe the role of the state during the initial stage of railway network construction and confirm that although the political will to construct a centralist network certainly influenced its morphology, other social and economic criteria were also influential. With regard to the politica…
From State-Building to European Integration: The Role of the Railway Network in the Territorial Integration of Europe, 1850–2020
This collection of articles combines a set of works that study the contribution of transport infrastructure to the process of state building in different countries in Western and Central Europe. The focus and the themes treated vary, but have two common denominators: firstly, they are based on either completely original, or previously little-used, primary sources; and secondly, each work reveals new ways of interpreting how transport networks hav…
Musique et perception de la montagne à travers les poèmes symphoniques de Liszt, Franck et Strauss
Le but de cet article est d'étudier la contribution de la musique à la perception de la haute montagne. En particulier, nous présentons les façons dont la musique symphonique a contribué à intégrer la haute montagne dans l'espace connu et habité par la société. C'est un processus qui a commencé et s'est développé en Europe au cours du XIXe siècle.Pour ce faire, nous proposons une étude de deux poèmes symphoniques que César Franck (1822-1890) et F…
Music and the perception of the mountains through the symphonic poems of Liszt, Franck and Strauss
The aim of this article is to study the contribution that music has made to the perception of a very specific place: that of the high mountains. In particular, we present the ways in which symphonic music has helped to incorporate the high mountains into the known and inhabited space. This is a process that began and was developed in Europe in the course of the 19th century.To do so, we propose a study of the symphonic poems entitled “Ce qu’on en…
Shaping the Common Ground: State-Building, the Railway Network, and Regional Development in Finland
Transport infrastructure played a key role in redefining Finland's economic geography. An empirical investigation involving new gis databases that combine data about railways, population, and administrative boundaries at the municipal level between 1870 and 2000 permits the identification of three main phases of railway expansion: The first phase was a concentration of railways around Helsinki; the second, the construction of a grid-based nationa…
Transportation and regional inequality: The impact of railways in the Nordic countries, 1860–1960
Introduction: A New Look at the Origins of Economic Growth and Regional Inequality
The contributions to this special issue share important themes and methodologies in their quest to explicate economic development and its effects. Nonetheless, each area under examination has its own peculiarities and warrants its own scope of analysis. The result is a special issue that pursues an innovative line of research, exploring parallels and contrasts in economic growth and inequality based on new data at the regional, rather than simply…
Railway Development and the Economic and Political Integration of the Balkans, c. 1850–2000
This article uses the evolution of the railways to examine the relationship between the level of economic integration and external political influences in the Balkans over a period of 150 years. The analysis focuses on two key themes: the long-term spatial evolution of the railway network and external influences on this infrastructure. To undertake this territorial analysis, we first established a Historical Geographical Information System (HGIS)…
The influence of the railway network on territorial integration in Europe (1870–1950)
Patterns of Population and Urban Growth in Southwest Europe: 1920-2010
This work seeks to measure, locate, and explain changes in the distribution of population and urban growth in the territory formed by France, Italy, and the Iberian Peninsula between 1920 and 2010. This is based on population data of more than fifty-six thousand local units obtained from population censuses: the Geokhoris database that we built. Our starting viewpoint is that it is only possible to understand the extent of the urbanization proces…

Attracting travellers to the high-speed train: A methodology for comparing potential demand between stations
The Railway Network and the Process of Population Concentration in Spain, 1900-2001
This paper proposes a methodology for quantifying the territorial impact on population distribution of the railway. The central hypothesis is that access to railway services provides the best-connected areas with a long-term comparative advantage over others that are less accessible. Carrying out a historical analysis and providing comparable data at the municipal level allows us to determine the extent to which the railway has fostered the conce…
The Time Dimension in Geography: Historical Data for Unstable Boundaries
Spatial inequalities in infant survival at an early stage of the longevity revolution: A pan-European view across 5000+ regions and localities in 1910
Spatial inequalities in human development are of great concern to international organisations and national governments. Demographic indicators like the infant mortality rate are important measures for determining these inequalities. Using demographic indic
European regional railways and real income, 1870–1910: A preliminary report
This article introduces our project on the relationship between railways and real income levels across European regions between 1870 and 1910. While similar relationships have been analysed for the USA, India and individual European countries, our project is the first to take a pan-European regional perspective. We discuss the reasons for the neglect to date, highlighting the need to drill deeper into the changing directional effects of railways …
A Method for Exploring Long-Term Urban Change Using National Historical GIS Databases
This article describes a new approach for analyzing data within national historical geographic information system databases that can be used to explore long-term trends in landscape evolution. The methodology is based on clustering together areas with similar demographic characteristics to define urban agglomerations whose territorial extents and populations vary over time. The resulting database can be used in a wide range of ways that allow the…
Introduction to the Special Issue on the Common Ground of History and Geography
Railways as a Factor of Change in the Distribution of Population in Spain, 1900–1970
The central focus of this work is to test a new methodology to measure the impact of the railway on the distribution of population, in this case in Spain. To achieve this, it was necessary to previously integrate data relating to population and railway lines into a geographical information system. The result was a spatial database that includes population data from homogeneous census series obtained for the municipal scale and the evolution of th…
Evolution of the Territorial Coverage of the Railway Network and its Influence on Population Growth: The Case of England and Wales, 1871–1931
The introduction of the railway network brought with it an unprecedented improvement in accessibility. In this work, the authors analyze the evolution of the territorial coverage of the railway network and its influence on the uneven distribution of population. To carry out this research, they used comparable data on total population obtained from census records relating to civil parishes of England and Wales, taken at 10-year intervals from 1871…

European integration and national models for railway networks (1840–2010)
Empirical evidence of regional population concentration in Europe, 1870–2000
This paper presents empirical evidence to support the hypothesis that, over time, Europe's population has undergone progressive regional concentration. Using data at the regional level from the first (1870) until the most recent (2000) available censuses, it is shown that the most densely populated areas in 1870 have continued to absorb subsequent population increase, and that as a result, territorial inequalities with respect to population have …
Railways and Population Distribution: France, Spain, and Portugal, 1870-2000
Transportion networks can have a profound influence on economic development and the distribution of population. A long-term comparative study of the influence that rail services exerted on urban growth reveals that the creation of a structured railway network in France, Portugal, and Spain intensified the depopulation of extensive rural areas, as more and more people moved to, and between, cities. Areas that were once relatively small and insigni…

Regional Transformations of a State under Construction: Bulgaria, 1878-2002
Analysis of new regional socioeconomic and transport data in a gis format reveals that Bulgaria's most dramatic transformations occurred before World War I, corresponding to the construction of the national railway grid. Contrary to expectations, the massive socioeconomic developments that followed World War II and the fall of the Berlin Wall did not affect the regional economic order of the state
The Map of Europe: Continuity and Change in Administrative Boundaries (1850–2000)
This article presents a series of digital maps that track the evolution of intermediate level administrative boundaries in Western and Central Europe between 1850 and 2000. Our research led us to consider why neighbouring states often base the organisation of their respective administrative units on quite different principles. Although each European state has its own history and dynamic, it is also possible to distinguish a series of general char…
