Abstract

REGALADO-REGALADO, Gerardo D.. The capital of everyday urban mobility: Motility on the periphery of Metropolitan Lima. Rev. Arquit. (Bogotá) [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.1, pp.67-81. ISSN 1657-0308.  https://doi.org/10.14718/revarq.2020.3038.

The processes of urban mobility in Latin American cities face a fragmented, unequal, non-inclusive territory that alters and fragments the spatial-temporal conditions on which the urban spatiality of everyday life is built, and therefore affects its displacements. That is why it is necessary to study the social travel practices and the direct relationship with the capital of motility that an individual has and that allows him to exercise his traveling habitus. In the peripheral area of Tahuantinsuyo in the city of Lima (Peru), an ethnographic method was applied, of the micro-ethnography-particularist type, combining non-participant observation and semi-structured interviews, which allowed the collection of quantitative and qualitative data for characterize the condition of accessibility, competencies, agency and appropriation, such as the capacity for autonomy to carry out displacements, in order to determine the motility capital. As a result, it was determined that this capital is altered based not only on the socio-economic position and competition with other agents, but also, in relation to their degree of accessibility to their habitat, their physical abilities, skills or competencies, finding various and matching social travel practices that alter said capital.

Keywords : urban accessibility; right to the city; walking habitus; metropolization; space pro-duction; urban segregation; transportation systems.
