The London Underground Railway: An Attempt to Solve the Nineteenth Century's Urban Traffic Problems and the Present Time Consequences [German]

by Manuel Irman

Facharbeit (Schule) aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Didaktik f?r das Fach Englisch - Landeskunde, Note: 2,0, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: London's famous Tube is the first underground railway ever built. While the planning started in the 1830s, the reasons for such an early decision to place public traffic underground lie in earlier days. These are of historical, societal, and political nature and could at least be traced back to the Mediaeval Ages. The present work analyses the course in which London became the world's largest city until 1925. Soon, the growing city was in need of a means of transport to avoid the notoriously congested streets.
