Challenges and opportunities of urban mobility in Latin America: strategies toward sustainable development
2025
Overview
Urban mobility in Latin America is a relevant area of research because of the negative effects of vehicular pollution on human health and the environment. In recent years, mobility patterns have shifted globally as a result of technological advancements and growing environmental awareness. Accordingly, this study aims to identify emerging trends in sustainable urban mobility in the region through bibliometric analysis, text mining, and content analysis. The findings indicate that early studies primarily focused on transport development, congestion, and pollution. However, more recent research has incorporated sustainable approaches, emphasizing public transportation, the use of electric vehicles, and their connection to social inclusion, particularly among low-income workers. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic had a notable impact by promoting the creation of bicycle lanes and the expansion of sidewalks to facilitate social distancing, thereby reshaping urban dynamics in several Latin American cities.
La movilidad urbana en América Latina es un campo de investigación relevante debido a los efectos negativos de la contaminación vehicular sobre la salud y el medio ambiente. En los últimos años, los patrones de movilidad han cambiado globalmente por avances tecnológicos y una mayor conciencia ambiental. Por ello, esta investigación busca identificar tendencias emergentes en movilidad urbana sostenible en la región, utilizando análisis bibliométrico, minería de texto y análisis de contenido. Los hallazgos muestran que los estudios iniciales se enfocaban en el desarrollo del transporte, la congestión y la contaminación. No obstante, investigaciones recientes incorporan enfoques sostenibles, destacando el transporte público, el uso de vehículos eléctricos y su relación con la inclusión social, especialmente entre trabajadores de bajos ingresos. Además, la pandemia de COVID-19 influyó notablemente, promoviendo la creación de carriles para bicicletas y la ampliación de aceras para facilitar el distanciamiento social, transformando así la dinámica urbana en varias ciudades latinoamericanas.
