Dimensión socioespacial de la inmovilidad urbana: una mirada desde el teletrabajo

Abstract

The text aims to explore the socio-spatial dimension of urban immobility favorable for permanence in space and waiting in time based on a specific activity: teleworking. To achieve this, the work activities with the greatest potential for teleworking are identified and linked to the positive and favorable impacts of immobility on the development of cities, especially because trips to work are the main reason for traveling in large Mexican cities. The study universe includes the 14 millionaire metropolitan areas of Mexico. The study period is 2019-2023. The results qualify the potential for voluntary immobility, as the number of salaried workers who have the capabilities, skills and work in activities that allow teleworking. The research contributes to the advancement of urban accessibility studies, from the perspective of the relationship of limitation and unequal distribution of access to immobility through teleworking, as a positive alternative that favors achieving more sustainable and friendly cities for their inhabitants.
