Estación Puerto Valparaíso, Chile

Abstract

Revision of some public transport policies has led to the renewal of urban and inter-city railway systems. Valparaíso’s regional metro, currently undergoing improvements with lines being taken underground, upgraded rolling stock and stations, must deal with conflicting priorities, between recovering the coastline and maintaining the railway track that restricts its relationship with the city. The intervention of the Puerto station could well articulate the poles.
