Resumen o primeras líneas
The core objective of this research is to identify the political factors that determine variations in transport sustainability outcomes across Latin American cities.
Aiming at contributing to the wider debate on sustainable transport in developing countries, this research deviates from previous studies that have focused on analyzing urban sustainability technically and in developed nations, and instead, concentrates on mapping political determinants of urban sustainability for the Latin American region. We base our analysis on an empirical characterization of the sustainability levels for several urban transport systems in this region, and then qualitatively contrast the levels of engagement towards transport sustainability of key cities.
