Abstract(s)
A historiografia sobre os caminhos de ferro em Portugal tem analisado o seu impacto no país como um
todo, dando pouca atenção à sua influência na dinâmica populacional. Este artigo defende que os caminhos
de ferro estimularam o crescimento da população nas áreas servidas por esta infraestrutura, contribuíram
para o desenvolvimento urbano e incentivaram as migrações internas. Porém, os seus efeitos foram
desiguais, pois a ferrovia beneficiou as zonas já prósperas (Norte Atlântico), tendo uma influência negativa
em regiões com maiores debilidades estruturais (Norte Interior). Além disso, não foi capaz de atrair uma
significativa população migrante.
L’historiographie a analysé l’impact des chemins de fer portugais sur l’ensemble du pays mais elle a prêté peu d’attention à leur influence sur les dynamiques démographiques. Cet article soutient que les chemins de fer ont stimulé la croissance de la population dans les zones desservies par cette infrastructure, contribuant au développement urbain et encourageant les migrations internes. Les effets n’étaient cependant pas les mêmes: les chemins de fer ont été bénéfiques aux régions déjà prospères (Nord Atlantique) mais ont eu une influence négative pour les régions ayant de grandes faiblesses structurelles (Nord Intérieur). Par ailleurs, ils n’ont pas attiré de manière significative de population migrante.

Their effects, however, were not the same in all parts of the country: railways benefited the already prosperous regions (Atlantic North) and had a negative influence in areas with greater structural weaknesses (Inland North). Beyond that it was unable to attract a significant migrant population.
