Resumo:This article introduces the method of the concrete utopia for exploring feasible alternatives to transform the port of Antofagasta. This urban infrastructure has been criticized because a series of socio-spatial problems related to its productive activities, especially regarding the storage of toxic materials near the downtown. Based on a series of documented experiences that has tried to transform the relationship between this port and the city, this article explores how these ideas may be reconsidered in the current context. Thus, on one hand, the article valorizes the concrete utopia for developing urban design proposals and on the other hand it discusses the critical role of Antofagasta’s port within the urban tissue, aiming to provide arguments for debating about its future.
