Abstract

Experts in transport, planning and urbanism agree that urban mobility is a consequence of urban spatial organization, and vice versa. The objective of the present study is to characterize the relationship between the urban territorial organization in Gran Mendoza Region and the massive passenger transport system which operates in this area. It is particularly analyze the presence or absence of critical urban conditions that encourage the massive transport usage, considering that it is of great value in the sustainable development of cities. In order to achieve this goal, it is used a conceptual model of mass transit oriented cities, proposed by Julio Pozueta (2000), and it is applied to the case of study. In addition to this, it is examined the work of other authors, focusing not only in those related to the analyzed area but also in those which study urban world tendencies, especially in Latin America cities.
