Abstract
With the urban transformations and their influences on society, new challenges arise in the face of the integration of sustainable development in cities. In this way, studies that identify the real condition of urban mobility and the quality population’s life are essential for decision-making and allocation of public investments. This work aims to evaluate the potential for advancing sustainability in the city of João Pessoa, PB through improvements in the results achieved in urban mobility indicators. To this end, the 10 indicators with the highest global weight in the classification of importance of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Index (SMU_I) methodology were analyzed. The results obtained demonstrate that the classification of the municipality would have an advance, moving from a description to good in the predicted scenarios, despite verifying the need for some updates and methodological adjustments in the indicators of SMU_I.Downloads
