Abstract
The idea that disasters become an opportunity is almost a cliche; what we never know is who or what will benefit from it. Based on the debates following the 1906 earthquake in Valparaiso, this text argues that when a city is ruined and decisions to rebuild must be taken, the difference between what is valued and what is not is clearly shown. The opportunity, then, becomes a discussion on values.
