Transport, urban development and the peripheral poor in Colombia — Placing splintering urbanism in the context of transport networks

Journal of Transport Geography, 2016, vol. 51, issue C, 180-192

Abstract: In rapidly growing cities the evolution of utility and communication infrastructures has enabled the creation of ‘premium networked spaces’ exclusively for wealthier groups thus deepening already large social inequalities. By the same token, in a context of spatially concentrated income-earning opportunities and other urban functions, as well as limited purchasing power, accessibility to adequate means of connectivity with the rest of the urban fabric can be a determining factor in overcoming conditions of poverty for residents in physically marginal areas.
