ESTRATEGIAS PARA UNA MOVILIDAD SOSTENIBLE ENTORNO A CORREDORES DE TRANSPORTE PÚBLICO MASIVO EN LA CIUDAD DE BUENOS AIRES

Abstract

The present project aims to investigate the effects that the implementation of a mode such as light rail would have on the mass public transport corridor of Line F for its surroundings, under an integrated planning of land use and sustainable mobility.

Such planning seeks to structure the territory and then promote the design of superblocks for the City of Buenos Aires within the framework of international best practices, such as the 15-minute city concept, which aims for a more compact city. To achieve this, the Index of Coverage of Daily Life Needs (ICNVC) is taken into consideration to analyze those variables that would benefit from the implementation of superblocks.

In the case of green spaces, for example, the area does not have total coverage of them. With the strategy of planning 30 km/h zones as a first step to generate a new mobility culture, and then planning superblocks, the area would be offered the possibility of designing green axes that connect with the nearest park (Parque Las Heras), thus partially compensating for the deficit of green spaces diagnosed by the ICNVC. Needless to say, this strategy includes the leveling and widening of sidewalks with more surface area for pedestrian mobility and other measures such as increasing safe routes for micromobility, all aimed at improving the urban and environmental quality of public space.

The integration of this strategy into the urban environment responds to a scenario in which an optimal urban structure is identified - framed by corridors of mass public transport (which would be enhanced by the future Line F) - to plan 30 km/h zones and superblocks.
