¿Influye la estructura urbana sobre la movilidad laboral? un análisis para las siete principales áreas metropolitalas españolas

Abstract

In the European context, Spain has a strong tradition in the study of polycentricity, numerous studies have identified, measurand and created new methods of identifying subcentres. Polycentrism has been studied well from morphological and functional perspective, both intrametropolitan and regional scale. However, little or no attention has been paid to the impact they polycentric structures on the efficiency of the development. In this article we explore the relationship between polycentricity and labor mobility. From the mobility matrix Population Census, and previous studies, we constructed a series of indicators to measure the incidence of polycentricity on the distances traveled by the working population. Also, once controlled the structure of the spatial distribution of employment and population, using the algorithm of White (1988) is studied using a statistical model , the relationship between excess urban mobility and different indicators. The results show that effectively reduces mobility polycentricity, and that once controlled it, other obvious factors like infrastructure excess mobility increases. However, the diversity of the housing supply reduces metropolitan mobility patterns. These results provide clear messages for urban policy-making.
