Abstract

Mobility (or transport) systems in an urban area may be defined as the set of elements comprising the mobility demand between various points in the area, the infrastructure supply and corresponding transport services. In this sense, mobility systems should be seen as sub-systems of the city which interact with the location of activities and urban functions in both directions: on the one hand, the configuration of urban activities determines mobility demand, and on the other, the accessibility provided by the transport system supply conditions location choices and thus the system of activities.
