Abstract: The following project analyzes and proposes a solution to the problem of the city of Buenos Aires and its relationship with the river. The objective is to recover the city's coastal identity through infrastructure that improves connectivity, develops different land uses and reintegrates natural spaces that had been segregated for years. Since the founding of the port city, people have felt the river as part of them. It was a recreational, economic and natural area that began to give identity to its inhabitants. Throughout years of uncontrolled urban growth, the city's interaction with its coast has been progressively lost. It was due to different urban barriers and obstacles such as roads, abandoned land, private accesses, among others. To reactivate the use of the coast and for the city to finally look at the river, this project proposes two types of connectors. One is a large green belt parallel to the coast that unifies the entire waterfront, and the other is a set of green pedestrian corridors that integrate city activities with natural waterside opportunities. To achieve a clean route, the corridors are perpendicular to the river and overcome the urban elements that cause barriers. To guarantee the use and connection of the new areas, the existing train and metro network will be integrated as part of the corridors' infrastructure. In this way the project not only resolves the urban development and identity of the sites, but also the way to get to them. These infrastructures by the river seek to rethink the very meaning of the margin. Today, architects and urban planners understand the social importance of recovering these types of sites and have worked on urban solutions in cities with similar problems around the world. Coastal areas are valuable for public access, recreation and economic opportunities. Reconceptualizing the margin ensures that urban infrastructure promotes equitable access to the coast for all residents.
