Urban Landscapes and Spatial Injustice: Spatial Redistribution of Supplementary Income Redistribution. Methodology for Supplementary Income Generated by Local Public Goods

Abstract

The study aims to introduce a methodology for a spatial redistribution of supplementary incomes generated by new or renovated local public goods (LPGs) and shows how its application promotes spatial justice in the cities. Two models were developed for establishing land and real estate prices (LEnP) variation and estimating the supplementary income associated to new LPGs. These models were applied to stations of BRT-TM Transmilenio system in Bogotá and to 108,888 estate appraisals (2004-2018) distributed throughout the city. It was found that benefits associated to BRT stations extend up to 0.5 km from the BRT stations and it was estimated that the LEnP increase (supplementary income) 3% on average (maximum: 8%, distance 0 km; minimum: 0%, distance > 0.5km). The redistribution methodology integrates incident citizen participation processes to allocate resources that finance LPGs in low-income urban peripheries.
