Resumen
CEBOLLADA, Àngel y MIRALLES-GUASCH, Carme. Mobility in Barcelonas Metropolitan area: Between new challenges and old Practices.. Finisterra [online]. 2010, n.90, pp.33-37. ISSN 0430-5027.
The urban sprawl of the Barcelona Metropolitan Region (BMR) in recent decades has been linked to its pattern of functional specialisation and its low density. This urban model has been closely associated with the use of the private automobile, which contradicts public policys stated aim of ensuring sustainable mobility patterns by focusing on modes of transport that are more socially-and environmentally-friendly. This article analyses the impact of the traditional mobility patterns, which are largely based on the use of private cars, upon the increasingly suburban areas of the BMR, and highlights the various instruments that can be used to meet the new challenges posed by the need for sustainable mobility.
