Cities are composed of images that fill us with senses, memories, and emotions to our sight, filled with memories according to the experience of the observer. With this idea, this research was carried out with the purpose of studying the new urban image perceived by the citizens of the rehabilitation of the central area of Portoviejo. A comparative analysis was performed before and after the earthquake to show the main components considered in the renovation of the public space. To do it, we employed mental maps and interviews; using qualitative techniques and interpretation of the perception of the population. Thus, a map was built-with the elements that characterize the new image of the city.
