Mobility Networks in the Americas: Local Politics and Cultural
Paradigms
March 13, 2012

As cities in Latin America take the lead in developing
innovative, cost-effective transportation networks, such as Bus
Rapid Transit, outcomes have shown how local politics and culture
shape each system differently.

Building on previous work in Colombia and New York City, Andrea
Marpillero-Colomina, from Columbia University, and Thomas
Bassett, from the American Planning Association, discussed recent
field research in Santiago, Chile, where the government has
recently implemented a new bus system. Like others in the region,
this system has been confronted by substantial planning
challenges.
