Ello se hará por medio del análisis de un documento de archivo sumamente importante, el primer reglamento de tránsito de la ciudad de 1908, en donde se establecían varias pautas para la sana convivencia entre ambos medios. Para inicios del siglo XX muchas ciudades mexicanas efectivamente estaban adaptándose a las modernas máquinas de transporte motorizadas, pero ello no significó que se abandonaran de la noche a la mañana a los viejos medios. Por tal motivo ese documento resulta en una fuente imprescindible para entender los inicios de la construcción de la vida urbana en esa localidad, y en México en general.The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the transition from animal-powered vehicles to automobiles in the city of Morelia at the beginning of the 20th century. This will be done through the analysis of an extremely important archival document, the first traffic regulations of the city from 1908, which established several guidelines for healthy coexistence between both modes. By the beginning of the 20th century, many Mexican cities were effectively adapting to modern motorized transportation machines, but this did not mean that the old means were abandoned overnight. For this reason, this document is an essential source for understanding the beginnings of urban life in that locality, and in Mexico in general.1-30esopenAccessHistoriaAutomóvilesMovilidadDiscursosMoreliaarticuloAutor y Facultad de Ciencia Política y Relaciones Internacionaleshttps://doi.org/10.35305/cc.v1i25.192Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International ou are free to: Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material The licensor cannot revoke these freedoms as long as you follow the license terms.
