Gentrificación, movilidad y transporte: aproximaciones conceptuales y ejes de indagación

Abstract

This paper aims to lay the groundwork for analysis of the relationships between the processes of gentrification, transport and mobility, by identifying the limited development of this field, particularly in Latin America. After the development of the concepts that organize the field of inquiry (gentrification, transport, mobility, accessibility, spatial capital), the article presents three axes of organization. The first one attempts to analyze the role of investment in transport infrastructure and services as possible mechanisms of gentrification. The second focuses on the differential attraction to accessibility in the deployment of gentrification in different territorial contexts. The last axis seeks to examine the effects on daily mobility of the groups displaced by gentrification. These axes open a research agenda that advances on the complexity of gentrification, adding new dimensions
