The metropolitan city San Miguelito 
Panama City after the housing boom, which lasted from about 2005 until well into 2008, was an era of urban transformation which was rather a growth in housing infrastructure in the city, because mainly to a growing international demand for foreign real estate investors and the immediate and apparent profit resulting therefrom. State action to accompany the increase in the number of buildings are reflected in a series of works rather adequacy and expansion of roads and bridges in addition to the Cinta Costera project, a development project that is still one of the badges works inherited from the past administration Torrijos.
Many offices of architects and construction companies (including the union of civil engineers) have made their good fortune. Some are bound professionally by the magnitude of projects (size) under their responsibility but also because there are nuances in this area are being carried out smaller-scale projects of great complexity as Biodiveridad Museum in Amador.
The change of government has also brought some project ideas to the fore. A meter that promises to alleviate the issue of transport to replace the third-traumatic and system that has had the city for years, a project that comes very late but that will yield benefits for medium and long term more than we could imagine at this time. No wonder shortsightedness of city and country much less medium and long term of our former ruling party with its five-year programs.
The metro will bring mobility and benefits more quickly and effectively to specific key points. Also in a city where the naming and signage is poor, will force managers to think of how people are targeted and direct, they will have to make maps use and the user will have to learn to use and therefore to know. As an initial program has hired a consultant to propose several subway lines Therefore, allowing the mobilization of public transport cross. Metro lines should aim to eliminate the east-west that dominates the current transport and multi-turn to a web in order to encourage the public from all walks of life use public transport. This will make it possible to continue with the densification of the downtown with a residential program housing in vertical, led to a change in strategy in the design of the avenues so as to propose generous, tree-lined pedestrian for environmental temperature control.
The metro is being seen as an issue of how to bring the masses of urban workers dormitories San Miguelito, Juan Díaz, Pedregal Tocumen and toward the center of the city, leaving the center and relieve congested routes access to the center. I propose that it is quite the opposite.
to approach to the periphery to mothers around the perimeter stations downtown and from there by underground branching.
As for the route I propose the following lines and stations :
Line 1: Plaza 5 May Plaza Porras, Urraca Park, Marbella / Old School Mary Immaculate / Clinic Hospital Paitilla, Multiplaza / Punta Pacifica, Atlapa, Panama Viejo, Costa del Este, Ciudad Radial, Don Bosco, Tocumen International Airport.
Line 2: Balboa, Albrook Terminal, Caja de Seguro Social / Universidad de Panama, Via Ricardo J. Alfaro / Avenida La Amistad / Plaza S. XXI, Centro Comercial El Dorado, Tumba Muerto / Via Puente Centenario, FETV / Private Universities, Hospital San Miguel Archangel.
Line 3: Los Angeles / Via La Amistad / Tumba Muerto, Vía Transístmica / Via Brazil, Brazil Via Obarrio / Calle 50, Multiplaza / Punta Pacifica.
Line 4: Paradise / Centennial Bridge Road, Avenida La Paz / Transistmica Kienner, Avenida Oct. 12 / Via Spain, Panama Viejo.
Line 5: Tram Caseway Amador, Ancon, Chorrillo, Santa Ana / Avenue B / San Felipe, Plaza Porras, Via Spain / Iglesia del Carmen, Vista Hermosa, Parque Lefevre, Rio Abajo, Juan Diaz, Los Pueblos .
Another project proposed by the new city government is the government that comes to resurrect an old blueprint developed by the firm Clement and Medina (again was awarded the contract, but was canceled by indiscretion) to group together in one government institutions, then occupying the lands of the runway and the airport at Albrook.
projects groupings of government buildings is already proven in many countries that make ghost towns, empty offices and buildings in the night hours and the streets and parks occupied as a dormitory for the homeless. Government buildings are to be scattered throughout the city, well designed, they are a decent representation of citizen power.
here include a particular example of occupation of a building that was used and by sub for reform and conditioning has become a neighborhood revive worn as Bella Vista. This is the new home of the mayor of Panama.
This is an excellent example of how a government agency falls within a pre-existing urban fabric. Otherwise, and it is unfortunate to be the occupation of other buildings of the former Canal Zone as the ARI, Ministry of Education, Social Security Fund, Ministry of Health and the judiciary. In such cases have not been studied and clearly needs the level of improvisation for the use of these infrastructures. Thus
Panama City, always conjectural and improvised, used to urban issues but as a proposal, on a route escape their own suffocation.
