摘要:The arrival in 1992 of a large infrastructure, namely the High Speed Train (HST), to Ciudad Real and Puertollano, small cities hitherto distant from the main Spanish transport corridors, has provoked a series of territorial transformations in both towns. This article sets out to reveal the demographic, economic and building changes by the use of the existing statistical data and by comparing these two cities firstly with similar Spanish cities that have not benefited from this infrastructure, and secondly with other towns representative of the province of Ciudad Real. Moreover it has attempted to establish some guidelines of analysis to explore or predict the effects on other small or medium-sized cities.
