Mobilidade urbana à luz da justiça social: convite a uma perspectiva alternativa

This article seeks to offer a possibility of interpretation/conduction of mobility policies from the perspective of social justice. To do this, it starts from the premise that the new multi-faceted paradigm that studies urban trips, requires also to observe, and incorporate, apart from income, other axis of subordination –including sexual diversity, race, ethnicity, to mention a few– that are usually disregarded in the analysis. To put together this theoretical reflection, it draws on a review of academic literature addressing the dimensions of urban space production, inequality, and distributive theories, with a necessary review of authors that deal directly with the issue of combined social exclusion and transport disadvantages. It concludes by suggesting that the adherence of research agendas guided by this perspective can support significant advances in the incorporation of urban mobility as a form –in fact– of right to the city.
