To consider a city sustainable, a variety of guidelines must be considered that respond to problems generated in it. It is possible to identify, for example, that transportation in a city with recent urban growth, such as Cajamarca, either in a private vehicle or in a public one, is a latent inconvenience for those who live and move around the city. One of the main reasons for the chaos in this city is the lack of adequate urban planning by governments in the face of the explosive migratory movement caused by mining activity in the early 1990s. Within the framework of this problem, the main objective of this research is to analyze urban mobility in the historic center of the district of Cajamarca, Peru. A simple descriptive design was proposed with three data collection instruments: observation sheets, surveys, and interviews with experts. It was possible to identify that the lack of vision to face this problem manifested in road congestion, environmental pollution, urban fragmentation, informality in transportation systems, high economic costs in the population, and the almost null access to public spaces. This shows a city with violent growth, socially polarized, and highly disorganized. In conclusion, there is a notorious fragmentation between mobility and the city due to the lack of comprehensive policies and spontaneous growth, among other factors. In this sense, although Cajamarca is a city with historical potential, it has suffered the progressive deterioration of its urban fabric due to this scenario.
