The Metro Channel, set along the old train tracks, has two very different trace layouts at the Vila do Conde and Póvoa de Varzim councils. To the south of the Ave River it crosses a distinct rural landscape, with scarce stations unrelated to each other, commanding to propose projects within an essentially local framework. Towards the north of the river and up until the current Póvoa de Varzim station, the trace develops within an urban context, along almost 5 kilometers. Thus opening a new cityscape that does not exclude the creation of a global project comprehending the whole extension of the Channel, and all the articulations and extensions inherent to the emerging new urban tissue.
