A Coruña is engaged in various urban development and infrastructure projects. Recent efforts have focused on enhancing pedestrian accessibility and public spaces, including the expansion of the A Pasaxe riverwalk and the reform of the Cantones district. These improvements include the installation of tactile paving and green zones to assist those with visual impairments.

In contrast to these accessibility improvements, the design of a new intermodal station has become a point of contention. Critics, including the Colexio Oficial de Arquitectos de Galicia, have described the auxiliary building as a “grey, windowless block” that fails to integrate with the city’s urban fabric or respect the heritage of the historic stone station. This design shift from original 2011 proposals is reportedly due to budget modifications and rising construction costs.
