Políticas de accesibilidad física a las ciudades universitarias latinoamericanas: una revisión crítica

Abstract

A new world of understanding about the way the role of universities are drivers of change, a critical approach in order to develop a true scientific contribution and change associated to a city were key components of the Reform. This idea of movement has clearly an intellectual and social base, but it is proposed to assess here a more literal analysis of its physical roots of mobility and the way knowledge and values are associated to higher education’s development. For that we studied the situation of four campus in Rio de Janeiro, Caracas and Buenos Aires. It’s paradoxical that places aimed at developing and transmitting development could remain at the rear in terms of practices that should guide a shift in terms of climate change, congestion, road safety, environment and health. In order to change that, it is proposed to question existing practices, mobilize communities and stimulate its capacity and knowledge as a reference for a wider change in urban societies.
