Abstract
El entorno urbano de la estación Sagrado Corazón del Tren Urbano de Puerto Rico, actualmente enfrenta retos de fragmentación social, infraestructura subutilizada y una fuerte dependencia del automóvil, a pesar de su potencial como nodo estratégico de movilidad y desarrollo comunitario. Se contempla abordar la revitalización de esta zona mediante un centro cultural que albergue áreas para exposiciones, talleres artísticos y eventos comunitarios, integrando espacios para mercados locales y ferias culturales. Un centro de promoción y desarrollo de espacios de creación, producción y difusión cultural enfocadas en las artes y la educación.
La propuesta Fragmentos Urbanos en Sinergía: Creando un Hito para la Cultura y la Comunidad, plantea transformar el entorno de la estación en un hito sinergético que fomente la movilidad sostenible y actúe como catalizador de cohesión social y multicultural. Esto se logrará mediante la implementación de principios del Desarrollo Orientado al Transporte (DOT), el diseño de espacios públicos inclusivos, y la integración de usos mixtos que generen actividad económica, cultural y recreativa en el área. La intervención busca además mitigar los efectos de la gentrificación, asegurando que los residentes actuales se beneficien directamente del proyecto.
Este enfoque combina teorías como las de Jane Jacobs sobre vitalidad urbana, y los estudios de Bertolini y Spit sobre regeneración ferroviaria, con una metodología que incluye análisis del entorno urbano, consulta a expertos y revisión de casos exitosos. En última instancia, el proyecto tiene como objetivo revitalizar no solo el área de la estación, sino también los barrios circundantes, integrándolos en una red de transporte eficiente y sostenible que promueva una mayor cohesión social.
The urban environment of the Sagrado Corazón station of the Urban Train of Puerto Rico, currently faces challenges of social fragmentation, underutilized infrastructure and a strong dependence on the automobile, despite its potential as a strategic node for mobility and community development. The revitalization of this area is planned to be addressed through a cultural center that houses areas for exhibitions, artistic workshops and community events, integrating spaces for local markets and cultural fairs. A center for the promotion and development of spaces for creation, production and cultural dissemination focused on the arts and education. The proposal “Fragmentos Urbanos en Sinergía: Creando un Hito para la Cultura y la Comunidad”, aims to transform the station environment into a synergistic landmark that promotes sustainable mobility and acts as a catalyst for social and multicultural cohesion. This will be achieved through the implementation of principles of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), the design of inclusive public spaces, and the integration of mixed uses that generate economic, cultural and recreational activity in the area. The intervention also seeks to mitigate the effects of gentrification, ensuring that current residents directly benefit from the project. This approach combines theories such as those of Jane Jacobs on urban vitality, and the Bertolini and Spit studies on railway regeneration, with a methodology that includes analysis of the urban environment, consultation with experts and review of successful cases. Ultimately, the project aims to revitalise not only the station area, but also the surrounding neighbourhoods, integrating them into an efficient and sustainable transport network that promotes greater social cohesion.
