Transportation management masterplans (TMM or PMGT) are tactical planning tools intended to promote the use of non-motorized means of transportation. In the process, TMM’s gather and distill large amounts of information regarding the territory and the transportation intended to be elaborated in subsequent phases -e.gr. the development of strategic transportation plans and/or the study of city ordinances. In practice, this TMM allowed two kinds of projects that elicited a process of urban renovation of Puerto Aysen: (1) it set a new standard for sidewalks and pedestrian crossings near existing schools, consequently compelling the renovation of a relevant proportion of existing streets. (2) it elaborated a new design for the public spaces intended for the commercial district, promoting an orderly transition of the existing land uses while better focusing the public investment in the area.
