Movilidad urbana en zonas periféricas: una mirada comparada de tres distritos de Lima Metropolitana

Abstract

This research analyzed the city’s production and its relationship with the conditions and routes of mobility. This article also presents a complementary and comparative approach that describes the characteristics of the urban environment of three peripheral districts of Metropolitan Lima: Pachacútec (Callao), Independencia, and Villa María del Triunfo. The geographical, infrastructure and security characteristics of these districts shape the mobility practices and strategies that their inhabitants employ to carry out daily activities. The comparison allows us to identify both the specificities of the mobility conditions of each district, as well as the main mobility barriers that are expressions of the great social inequalities in the city.
