Not a lot but ..... the Guardian reports: MontpellierSan Francisco, Lisbon and, er, Croydon are known for their trams, but this year there's a new pretender to the light-rail crown: Montpellier. The city's two existing lines feature trams decorated with birds and flowers by fashion designer Christian Lacroix, and a new line, opening this spring, will sport his underwater and solar designs. The trams will from early next year shuttle architecture buffs between Jean Nouvel's new RBC Design Centre and Pierre Vives, the sprawling new library, archive and sports centre from Zaha Hadid's practice.
