A city-region centered in Bogotá, with mass transit growth extending to 21 municipalities.

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive proposal to improve mobility in the Central Region of Colombia, centered in Bogotá, through international and scientific partnerships. It begins with a diagnosis of the chaos in urban and regional transportation, characterized by traffic congestion, a lack of coordination between municipalities, and uncontrolled urban sprawl. The study proposes sustainable road infrastructure megaproject models, with an emphasis on mass transit, cycle routes, emergency service centers, and road safety strategies. The methodology employs a quantitative approach with surveys of 900 people, data analysis, and a logical planning framework. It highlights partnerships with universities specializing in mobility and urban planning, both in Latin America and Europe, to strengthen the project's technical foundation. It also proposes a dissemination strategy in academic and specialized media. The document emphasizes the importance of inter-institutional collaboration, technological innovation, and citizen participation in addressing mobility challenges. It also addresses topics such as gender-sensitive mobility, the economic impact of traffic chaos, and the need for resilient planning in the face of disruptive events. Overall, the proposal seeks to transform regional mobility with integrated, sustainable solutions focused on citizen well-being.
