SLoCaTLiterature review– UrbanTransport, PovertyandEquityConclusions
• Theinteractionbetweenurban povertyandtransportation– 'Theinability[ofthepoor]toaccessjobsandservicesisanimportantelementofthesocial
exclusionthatdefinesurbanpoverty'. (Gwilliam,WorldBank2002:25)
• Reversinginequity:understanding accessasthekeytransport good– ‘Highermobilitydoesnotnecessarilyrepresentbetterlivingconditions.Whatmattersisthe
accessibilitytodesireddestinations,whichcanbeobtainedwithlessmovement'.(Vasconcellos2011)
• Measuring accessibility– Equityauditswillgoalongwaytowardcurbingthemorecommon,limitedpseudo-scientific
technicalapproachtourbantransportappraisal (EduardoVasconcellos 2011)
• Deliveringaccesstothepoor– ‘Transportisagreatenablerofeconomicandsocialopportunity.Butiftherangeoftransport
servicesavailabletopeopleofdifferentincomes,ages,and/orethnicgroupsfailstokeeppacewiththegrowthinthelevelofsuchservicesavailabletotheaveragememberofsociety,thesustainabilityofthatsociety’smobilityissuspect.’(Cervero 2013)
– WhileBusRapidTransit,asaconcept,offers significant opportunities forenhancingsocial justiceandpovertyalleviation, theseoutcomesshouldnotbetakenforgranted:theyonlyoccurunderspecific, well-thought throughconditions. (Venter, Hidalgo&Pineda2013)
