WEBINAR – PASADOS, PRESENTES Y NUEVAS REALIDADES PARA LAS CIUDADES: DICOTOMÍAS DE LA MOVILIDAD SOSTENIBLE

Abstract

According to the new urban agendas, currently one of the most significant challenges for the functionality of cities is the aspect of mobility and transportation. In this case, recent theories favor the configuration of more compact cities, as proposed by the 15-minute city, or the incorporation of alternative transport systems such as bicycles. Urban developments oriented towards sustainable transport (Dots) have also been encouraged and the use of mass transport is promoted over private transport. However, these theories, although applicable to Latin American cities, in some cases, propose strategies and interventions that are not enough to transform the conditions of mobility in contemporary cities and that do not manage to contribute enough in scope for the fulfillment of the aforementioned agendas, since the transformation of the mobility process is not the only aspect that is required to impact with more concrete actions in the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development.
