Urban mobility and equality: perspectives from contemporaneity

 

Organização: Angelica Benatti Alvim, Fabiana Generoso de Izaga, María Rosana Forray Claps

 

The notion of urban mobility has been considered the central principle of the urbanization process of the contemporary city. It is an intrinsic component of the daily routine of the world’s urban population, the basic condition for participation in society, and a distinct form of capital, characterized by the continuous flow of people, goods, and information.

Urban mobility studies have advanced a lot in recent years, with a considerable increase in production and the amplification of approaches that intertwine urban, environmental, and socio-spatial inclusion themes, which shows the plurality of notions embedded in the concept.

In this context, sustainable urban mobility is an essential right of the population. Its promotion is translated as equitable use of different modes of transport, motorized and non-motorized, and as improved access to the opportunities offered by the city, guided by the principles of democracy, solidarity, and social justice. However, the inequities persist.

The sharp growth of the mobility of people and goods has been accompanied by an equally radical change in the size and form of the cities. These aspects align with technological innovations, in a context of urban fragmentation, increase in social inequalities, sanitary crisis, and environmental disasters.

This dossier seeks to gather papers deriving from studies that reflect new perspectives and analyze urban mobility critically, in an interface with the following themes: equality and distributive justice; urban segregation and exclusion processes; health and quality of life; changes caused by the sanitary crisis; energy crisis and climate change; transport infrastructures and public space design; development guided by transport and densities; public policies, planning and governance; new technologies; active mobility and micromobility; daily experiences of distinct age and gender groups; among others.

We hope to subsidize recent debates on urban mobility and socio-spatial equality, and broaden the scientific interlocution between researchers from Brazil and other international realities.
