    The train station in the parish of Ingahurco, formerly a historical, cultural, and tourist hub of the city of Ambato, is currently in a state of complete neglect, resulting in damage to the infrastructure and a lack of functional uses that meet the needs of the community. This has led to severe problems of insecurity, vandalism, illegal occupation, and, above all, a loss of heritage value. Internationally, various organizations have identified similar cases, which negatively impact on the community and its identity. Nationally, two significant examples are the Chimbacalle and Durán train stations, which demonstrate the absence of policies to support their preservation. Specifically in the parish of Ingahurco, the train station has become a clear case of heritage and urban risk related to a lack of appropriate management. Studying this problem is relevant because it presents an opportunity to rescue this space, increase security, and simultaneously revitalize the city's tourist and cultural identity. To develop this topic, a qualitative research approach using a case study methodology is proposed, connecting with physical and heritage study. The expected results include a general diagnosis of the building's current state, an analysis of the urban and social environment, a distinction of uses within the station, and a proposed architectural design that is functional and meets the community's needs. Likewise, the aim is to create guidelines that ensure its conservation and reintegration as a community space for the parish. In conclusion, this research aspires to enhance the heritage and contribute to the urban planning of Ambato.
