This document focuses on urban dispersion and accessibility in the Metropolitan Zone of the Valley of Mexico and its influence on the university student population. This is achieved through the analysis of three groups of data: mobility surveys of the student community, school performance monitoring data provided by the University, and data from Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) on the location of main transportation in the city. The research provides results on the geographical dispersion of students, their dependence on the public transportation system, and how this situation is related to accessibility and academic performance, particularly in the case of students with greater lag. Finally, the importance of implementing these studies in businesses and schools that will contribute to the development of transportation and urban planning policies that reduce social disparities and improve mobility in the urban environment is highlighted.

A partir de información recolectada en campo mediante herramientas etnográficas, como observación exploratoria y grupos focales, se analizan algunas experiencias en cuanto a la movilidad de mujeres en Cali y Barranquilla (Colombia). Los hallazgos se ilustran en narraciones tipo que expresan la forma en que ellas se hacen lugar, se resignifican y ejercen resistencia en el espacio público, lo cual controvierte las nociones tradicionales asociadas a las mujeres en cuanto a movilidad. En sus experiencias, la precarización laboral y el papel de la economía de cuidado son determinantes en su relación con la movilidad. Por ello, se proponen algunos ajustes en la política pública en torno a la movilidad y el cuidado en busca de mayor equidad para las mujeres.

Experiences of some women in terms of mobility in Cali and Barranquilla (Colombia) are analyzed based on information collected on field, using ethnographic tools such as exploratory observation and focus groups. The findings are illustrated in standard narratives that express the way in which women's experiences take place, resignify themselves and exert resistance in the public space, which contradicts the traditional notions associated with women in terms of mobility. In their experiences, job insecurity and the role of the care economy are determining factors in their relationship with mobility. For this reason, some adjustments are proposed in public policy regarding mobility and care in search of greater equity for women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
