International Planning Studies, 2015, vol. 20, issue 1-2, 112-130

Abstract: Urban spatial mobility and its environmental impact have been attracting attention in academic circles, but have not yet fully permeated the urban public policy agenda. Proposals to reduce commuting (journeys to work) recommended in the relevant literature include controlling land use to cut the distance between home and the workplace, inducing modal shift, promoting concentration of service activities, time distributing work schedules, and teleworking (TW). The purpose of this article is to report some findings regarding the implementation of TW based on a survey of corporate employees that enter this work modality in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area. We provide insights as to the potential impact the adoption of TW might have on the city' s commuting pattern, use of energy, and environmental pollution.
