The Buenos Aires–Rosario–Córdoba high-speed railway (in Spanish: Tren de Alta Velocidad de Argentina – TAVe) was a project designed to link the Argentine cities of Buenos Aires, Rosario and Córdoba through a high-speed rail network. The plan, announced by then-President Néstor Kirchner during a press conference at the Casa Rosada on 26 April 2006,〔(Kirchner anunció la licitación para desarrollar un tren rápido a Retiro ), ''La Capital'', 27 Apr 2006〕 would be the first in Argentina operating at up to .〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title='Cobra' offers high speed future )〕 The entire project was dismissed due to the financial crisis of 2007–08.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Pointers February 2009 )〕 == Overview == Buenos Aires and its metropolitan area has a population of more than 13 million, almost one third of the national total.〔(INDEC )〕 It is the economic and political center of Argentina, and its main international entry point. Rosario, located about north-northwest of the capital, is the third-largest city and a major port, with a metropolitan population of 1.3 million.〔 It is part of the agricultural and industrial core of the littoral region. Córdoba, with a population around 1.4 million,〔 is located about from Buenos Aires, near the geographical center of Argentina. It is the second most populated metropolitan area, and a cultural, touristic, and industrial center. Altogether, the three cities include 15 million inhabitants, or more than a third of the country's overall population of 40 million, while representing the three major cities. Rosario and Cordoba are vital centers in the farm sector, which has grown rapidly in recent years thanks to high commodity prices. By the moment the project was announced in 2006, the main form of transportation between these three cities was by road, through National Route 9 (4 lane Highway from Buenos Aires to Rosario and 2 lane route from Rosario to Cordoba -Rosario to Cordoba highway is expected to be finished by 2009-), followed far behind by air travel. The high speed rail would act as an essential component in the revival of railways in Argentina, which would have major impact on the economic development of the region for both faster passenger and cargo connections. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buenos Aires–Rosario–Córdoba high-speed railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
