Transporte, Energía y Transición a la Electromovilidad

Mobility is one of the most complex and interesting urban processes, as it represents the footprint of people's interactions with the urban environment (Orellana, 2011). By studying mobility we are also understanding other aspects of the city with which it is intimately related, such as public space, urban systems, social equity, energy, institutional capacity, environmental aspects and population health. Urban mobility is thus one of the most important indicators of a city's quality of life, which can be summarized in the phrase “tell me how you move and I will tell you what kind of city you are”. The case of Cuenca (Ecuador) is often viewed with interest by decision-makers, urban planners, researchers, politicians and people interested in urban issues. Its status as an intermediate city, with a relatively high quality of life, quality basic services, well-maintained public spaces and functional urban systems, has led it to be considered an atypical case in the context of Latin American cities, and mobility is one of the focal aspects of this interest.
