Dinámicas urbanas y multi-accesibilidad metropolitana: comercio urbano y demanda de autobús en la ciudad de Madrid

Abstract

The study of urban dynamics is traditionally linked to several built environment factors such as density, land use, mixed use, morphology or socio-economic variables; but a new paradigm is rising: position factors and accessibility variables are becomingcritical in metropolis which are increasingly articulated on a diversity of mobility networks (Ascher, 2001). Thus, this paper proposes a framework to value both kinds of factors together. This is a necessary first step to better face the study of urban dynamics, as well as transport and land use planning integration, but also in order to defend a new notion: “multi-accessibility”. The framework is tested through the study of two dynamics that contribute to the discussion: urban retail concentration and bus ridership.
