Abstract
This chapter presents a literature review of key concepts and connections that serve as a framework for understanding the conditions of access inequalities of socially disadvantaged residents of cities of Latin America: accessibility, social and spatual inequality, and transport-related social exclusion. The review seeks to identify conditions that underpin the ability of low-income, peripheral and other marginal population groups to access essential services and opportunities for their well-being. Building on such a review, the paper proposes a framework that identifies relevant connections between transport and urban configurations and inequalities that may affect socially vulnerable groups such as low-income groups, people with disabilities, elderly, women, and ethnic minorities. This review proposes a integrated framework linking splintering urbanism and social exclusion, placing accessibility—or the lack thereof—as a core issue bringing the two concepts together while considering their translation into the context of urban transport inequalities and inequities in cities in Latin America. The review contends that fragmentations stemming from splintered urbanism lead to inaccessibility that leads to exclusion in mutually reinforcing processes. Such processes reflect the limitations of mainstream approaches to urban and transport planning to address the needs of socially disadvantaged populations in Latin America.
