Ciudad sustentable y acceso al transporte público: el caso de una ciudad intermedia argentina

Abstract

The Latin American patterns of mobility have not transcended the models established in modernity, because although the study on this topic is growing, current public policies do not achieve a change in the energy matrix, which leads to a very high environmental cost and urban unsustainability. Likewise, the endowment of public green areas is not related to the greater requirements of CO2 reduction, that is why the work has the purpose of identifying in the Metropolitan Area of Tucumán the emission of CO2 fr om public transport in relation to the presence of photosynthetic activity that allows to counteract high levels of CO2 emitted by the daily use of transport. A GIS methodology is used to obtain critical areas that allow generating intervention proposals. The results achieved demonstrate the importance of incorporating measures from public policies to increase living conditions.
