First meeting of the scientific committee of IVM’s Academic Chair in Latin America “Cities on the move”

The purpose of IVMís ìCities on the Moveî interdisciplinary chair in Latin America is to raise awareness in academic circles of the multiple dimensions of mobility, to formulate new questions, and to generate and disseminate knowledge that will contribute to the decision-making process and encourage innovation. Its role is to explore the specific features of Latin American mobility, and in particular the transition currently underway and prospects for innovation. The territories studied are not only the major cities ñ special attention will be paid to the cities of intermediate size. The activities initiated by the partner universities may include: joint doctoral supervision; translation and publishing; the running of cross-disciplinary seminars on specific subjects; discussions with IVMís European and Chinese chairs on topics such as:

The production of information on the city and transportation, the potential role of mobile phones in circulating information

Female autonomy and day-to-day mobility in Latin America (access to jobs, complex mobility and family life, women producing their own mobility services, women in transportation, etc.)
Public transport versus sustainable public mobility services, new services and informal innovation

The growing role of motorcycles in Latin American cities, governance of taxi systems
The city at home (home service provision)
Working on the move (mobile offices, etc.)
Governance: the tension between planning and individual autonomy

The Chair will seek to explore these themes from a multidisciplinary perspective (the socio-economics of transport, engineering, architecture, urban planning, urban design, information technology, the sociology of families, of organisations, of innovation, gender studies, political sciences, geography, etc.), including anthropology, which will be used to explore the pre-Columbian roots of Latin America, in particular the nomadic traditions of the indigenous peoples.
