Abstract
The new mobility infrastructures that face contemporary accessibility problems are potential elements of urban development and of improvement of public space in the city. This fact is verified to the extent that its design is integrated into the geography, history and particular dynamics of an urban environment and acquires particular relevance in the field of intermediate cities. Under this hypothesis, we developed a Research and Project Workshop on intermediate cities in Chile, whose results constitute the central body of this paper. Based on the territorial analysis and the formulation of projects for La Serena, Iquique, Alto Hospicio, Valdivia, Osorno, Puerto Montt and Puerto Varas, local solutions to global urban problems are discussed. The work is framed within the parameters of action research, emphasizing the exploratory nature of research and explicitly addressing the dimension of knowledge that arises from the project.
