Movilidad

Movilidad, in its broadest sense, refers to the ability to move or be moved freely and easily. It can apply to various contexts, including personal mobility, which pertains to an individual’s capacity to move from one place to another, often associated with transportation and infrastructure. In urban planning and transportation, movilidad emphasizes the systems, services, and policies that facilitate movement within urban environments, promoting accessibility and connectivity.

In a broader socio-economic context, movilidad can also relate to social mobility, which describes the ability of individuals or groups to move within a social hierarchy, often measured by changes in income, education, and occupation. Movilidad can thus encompass both physical movement and changes in social standing, reflecting an individual’s or community’s dynamic engagement with their environment and opportunities.

Overall, movilidad underscores the importance of accessibility and movement, whether in physical terms or social contexts, influencing quality of life, economic development, and social equity.
