This thesis analyses a potential way in which the project can bring about a new urban challenge for the city as it addresses its twenty first century challenges. The book has a more projective character. The publication documents a design hypothesis that conceives how the metro project can have a transformative impact on the city’s surface. The project envisions an epicenter of new residential density and urban services paired with the focus on rethinking the high-quality public space in the city. The strategy focuses on rethinking the metro stations as nodal points (micro- centralities) that under a design project, bring together multiple scales of transformation in order to establish new urban centralities. Finally, this project is just one hypothesis over hundreds of open opportunities. The objective is to reconsider the undeveloped possibilities that the city possesses.
