Mobility and wellbeing of vulnerable populations in Bogotá: Gender gaps in urban mobility
Vulnerable populations often face challenges in accessing services and economic opportunities, owing to disadvantages stemming from spatial inequalities.
Abstract
In big cities in low and middle income countries, vulnerable populations often face challenges in accessing services and economic opportunities, owing to disadvantages stemming from spatial inequalities. Today 55% per cent of the world’s population lives in urban areas, a proportion that is projected to rise to about 70% by 2050. Improving the mobility of vulnerable populations in large urban centres is therefore central to reduce poverty and enhance global wellbeing in a sustainable manner.
