Why is it important?

Railway heritage as a subset of industrial heritage is strongly linked to historic episodes in the country. In order to explore the potential of railway heritage in Mexico in terms of sociocultural values, a research strategy was applied implying both architectural and archaeological approaches. As a result, the social space of railway heritage starts to be understood in a specific case study located in the state of Morelos, as required by the current international trends in heritage conservation.

Perspectives

It is expected that this work represents a contribution to the revalorization of this kind of heritage in Mexico and other countries with similar difficulties.
