“…Por un lado, resulta complicado valorar el papel concreto de la planificación urbana para favorecer patrones de movilidad eficientes con respecto a la influencia de otros factores externos (sociales, económicos, etc.) (Levine et al 2005;Dupuy, 2011). Otra dificultad radica en el establecimiento de prioridades claras entre los objetivos de mitigación y adaptación al cambio climático.…”

Climate Change poses new challenges and creates opportunities to the urban systems for which planning needs to gain insight into methodological approaches from a spatial, integrated and strategic perspective. To achieve this, scenario planning methods become not only suitable to embrace those visions, but also to promote a more proactive dimension of the decisionmaking process. Therefore, this paper aims to present a methodological approach in developing planning methods and techniques to face climate change, through the definition and assessment of urban mobility scenarios.The proposed methodology consists of analyzing different urban areas ("urban laboratories"), over which the planning instrumental capacity to achieve adaptation and mitigation objectives is assessed regarding particular constraints, needs and opportunities offered by each scenario in relation to two core features: automobile dependence and the response capacity of the urban environment. Palabras Clave: cambio climático, movilidad urbana, planificación de escenarios. ResumenFrente al reto y a la oportunidad de abordar el cambio climático en el contexto urbano, la planificación necesita profundizar en enfoques metodológicos que traten el problema desde una perspectiva espacial, integrada y estratégica. Para ello, los métodos basados en escenarios no sólo constituyen una elección idónea para incorporar tales enfoques, sino también para promover una dimensión más proactiva en el proceso de toma de decisiones. Por tanto, el objetivo central de este artículo consiste en presentar un enfoque metodológico para el desarrollo de métodos y técnicas que permitan afrontar el problema del cambio climático desde la planificación, utilizando para ello la valoración de escenarios de movilidad urbana.El planteamiento metodológico consiste en analizar diferentes laboratorios urbanos, sobre los que se valora la capacidad instrumental de la planificación para alcanzar determinados objetivos de mitigación y adaptación al cambio climático, atendiendo a las limitaciones, necesidades y oportunidades específicas que ofrece cada uno de los escenarios en relación a dos aspectos básicos: la dependencia del automóvil y la capacidad de respuesta del medio urbano. IntroducciónEl cambio climático supone uno de los principales retos ambientales, económicos y territoriales del siglo XXI, frente al cual las ciudades constituyen uno de los ámbitos geográficos más importantes. La mayor parte de las actividades humanas se encuentran, directa o indirectamente, ligadas a los centros urbanos y, por tanto, la contribución de las mismas a las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero es más acusada que en el ámbito rural (Hoornweg et al., 2011). Sin embargo, también son los ámbitos más vulnerables a los posibles efectos del cambio climático y, al mismo tiempo, los más capaces de generar soluciones eficientes respecto a las necesidades de reducir tales emisiones (Dodman, 2009;Romero-Lankao, 2012). La potencial evolución de las ciudades, de foco de contaminación atmosférica a lug...

“…The legacy of socalled Euclidean zoning in the United States has fostered urban landscapes where physical separation between use types is the norm, with poor accessibility being one of many negative outcomes (Hall, 2007). Euclidean zoning is in part to blame for both a lack of affordable housing (Glaeser & Gyourko, 2002), and an oversupply of suburban-style, single-family housing (Levine, 1998) which have failed to satisfy the transportation and accessibility preferences of a large portion of the population (Levine, 2005). Contemporary planning policy has long since moved away from this.…”

“…However, the results become surprising when looking specifically at the types of neighborhoods the respondents actually lived in. Source: Levine, Inam, and Torng (2005), Table 3 Levine, Inam, and Torng broke down their respondents as living in neighborhoods that fell into five different land-use clusters (see Table 2.9). Three land-use clusters, central business district, other central city, and inner suburban, were marked as more pedestrian/transit-oriented areas.…”

Accessibility of Bay Area Rail Transit Stations: An Evaluation of Opportunities for Transit Oriented Development

Many groups have been pushing for a shift from automotive oriented transportation and land use, to transit-oriented transportation and land use. These groups have many valid reasons. However, just as it is fair to point out issues about auto travel, so too is it fair to see how transit performs at meeting certain goals. This paper examines the important characteristic of accessibility afforded to travelers. This is quantified through the calculation of accessibility indices for stations, for the specific case of two existing rail systems and four proposed rail extensions in the San Francisco Bay Area.As a whole, the four extensions investigated increase regionwide rail accessibility by 18.5 percent, not an insignificant increase. However, the new stations are on average less accessible than their existing counterparts. Two of the four extensions perform well on accessibility measures, either their stations have high accessibility, or jobs around them contribute to high accessibility for nearby stations. The other two extensions however perform poorly on accessibility measures. In a time of limited resources, the accessibility results clearly indicate how the four extensions should be prioritized. The more successful extensions have good access to activity centers. Extensions having good connectivity with other lines can also enhance accessibility if providing significant travel time savings.iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
