Las redes de Movilidad Urbana Sostenible y la reactivación del Espacio Público: Alcosa

Abstract

There is a direct relationship between use of public space and mobility model. Facing the problems regard- ing the reactivation of public space at neighbourhood scale goes through a change of metropolitan mobili- ty model in favor of the alliance between public trans- port and active mobility: cycling and pedestrian. In the framework of the Participatory Action Research (PAR) project “Barrios en Transición”, carried out at the Sevil- lian neighbourhood of Parque Alcosa, we have made a diagnosis about the relationship between mobility mod- el and public space occupancy. From the problems and neighboring claims found we have developed a propos- al to reduce the dependency on private transport and reduce its occupation of public space, based on the alli- ance between an efficient public transport network and the improvement of the network and resources for cy- cling. Improving the efficiency of public transport net- work brings us to propose a basic network of Bus Rap- id Transit for Seville. At neighbourhood scale we made a proposal to improve accessibility, pedestrian and cy- cling mobility and to stimulate the use of public space.
