The following essay aims for the study of the public transportation's influence in the urban de- vvelopment of the harbour city of Valparaíso, Chile, crossing its past with the future perspectivesthat it faces.Starting from a more general idea of urban regeneration of contemporary cities through thepublic transportation that includes, simultaneously, the large and small scale, the harbour city ofValparaíso stands as a case study with a special role in this duality for it represents, in many ways,an interesting deviation of the conventional Latin American city. Valparaíso was recently recognizedas a World Heritage site and part of that recognition includes its urban transportation with specialfocus on its set of old funiculars.A historical analysis is presented seeking to recover some of the habits established in the lateXIX century after the emergence of public transportation in Valparaíso through the study of the wayit modified the city differently from the posterior arrival of the more recent individual motorizedtransportation.The common denominator to the study and subsequent intervention strategy is movement, keyconcept that shapes simultaneously the geography, the morphology and the ways of living in thecity.Finally it is presented a project that defines a comprehensive strategy in large and small scalethat, through an attempt of clarifying and adapting the public transportation in the city, would triggera process of urban regeneration in the city.
