Abstract

The heritage of public works combines technological and social values and is closely linked to the development of cities. Bridges and railway stations are two types of infrastructure of particular importance. On the one hand, they are the most visible elements of urban communication networks demonstrating the technology and the era in which they were built. On the other hand, they are hubs of activity in urban life and have cultural and symbolic significance. This article presents two related research and dissemination projects, analysing the bridges and railway stations of the city of Madrid. The methodology followed in their development is presented: selection, documentation, analysis and evaluation; transferable to other public works and cities. The resulting digital dissemination tools consist of rigorous databases based on interactive cartographies. These tools have more attractive and flexible interfaces than the traditional ones, offering new uses and applications. Geolocation and the diversity of content (text, images, 3D models, videos, etc.) ensure a comprehensive technical and cultural understanding of the heritage, while highlighting its role in shaping the city. The projects serve as a model for heritage enhancement and communication with citizens through digital applications and innovative dissemination tools.
