“…The MLP of socio-technical systems enables understanding the co-evolutionary and multi-level interactions of infrastructure, technology and knowledge to create specific regimes. The basic principle of the MLP is that transitions to sustainable systems are non-linear processes resulting from processes taking place at three different analytical levels—landscape, regime and niche—so that the success of an innovation is not based on its intrinsic robustness, but on the interaction of its three analytical levels [ 33 , 42 ].…”

“…The landscape—the macro level—consists of deep structural trends and social or physical conditions—exogenous environment—that shape systems [ 24 , 33 , 42 , 43 ]. This represents the broadest socio-technical context [ 45 , 46 ].…”

“…This represents the broadest socio-technical context [ 45 , 46 ]. This is the level that is most structured, stable over time and that evolves slowly through prolonged stages that help to destabilize the regime [ 33 ]. The regime—the meso level—is a semi-coherent set of dominant socio-technical rules, norms and values.…”

“…Sustainable innovation is the result of the combined effect of different elements [ 32 ]. In this sense, the building blocks of socio-technical transitions in urban mobility rest on windows of opportunity created by the convergence of factors [ 33 ]. However, smart city research has employed methodologies unable to analyze causal relationships between factors acting at different levels [ 2 ].…”

The growing concentration of the population in urban areas presents great challenges for sustainability. Within this process, mobility emerges as one of the main generators of externalities that hinder the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. The transition of cities towards innovations in sustainable mobility requires progress in different dimensions, whose interaction requires research. Likewise, it is necessary to establish whether the experiences developed between cities with different contexts can be extrapolated. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify how the conditions that determine a city’s readiness to implement urban mobility innovations could be combined. For this, qualitative comparative analysis was applied to a model developed using the multi-level perspective, analyzing 60 cities from different geographical areas and with a different gross domestic product per capita. The R package Set Methods was used. The explanation of the readiness of cities to implement mobility innovations is different to the explanation of the readiness negation. While readiness is explained by two solutions, in which only regime elements appear, the negation of readiness is explained by five possible solutions, showing the interaction between the landscape and regimen elements and enacting the negation of innovations as a necessary condition. The cluster analysis shows us that the results can be extrapolated between cities with different contexts.

“…Within urban growth, the road conditions and infrastructure available define the ease of mobility between activities and locations. Having accessible infrastructure is a common feature of a sustainable mobility system, as it supports the movement of people and goods by several modes of transport [37]. So, for its evaluation, methods such as audits, surveys, video cameras, or checklists are used to collect information and evaluate urban mobility.…”

Methodology to Assess Sustainable Mobility in LATAM Cities

et al. 2021

As the first step toward implementing strategies to improve mobility in urban centers, governmental authorities must assess their present situation in order to identify the most effective actions that should be included in their short and long-term plans. However, there is not a well-established methodology to carry out such an assessment. The already existing ones are subjective, incomplete, costly, and hard to implement, especially for the case of Latin American (LATAM) countries. This paper proposes a comprehensive methodology to carry out this assessment. It uses recent advances in information technologies and includes the use of web map services, telematics data, and low-cost vehicle emission tests. As an example of application, a mobility assessment was carried out for Saltillo, a medium-sized city in northeastern Mexico, which is considered a typical city in LATAM countries. Results indicate that this methodology can be replicated at a low incremental cost and that it leads towards the identification of the most sustainable (economic, environmental, and social) actions that should be implemented in these cities considering their local circumstances.
