| summary |
Throughout Latin America urban cable-cars are fast becoming a normal sight with urban transport systems, taking residents and tourists to and from previously isolated locations and providing a new form of accessibility that was not possible before. As its popularity grows, it is important to understand the role that improved spatial connectivity plays in transforming these communities and discuss how this can be best measured. This is because the spatial conditions of informal settlements are often forgotten about when planning large scale upgrading programs. Therefore, the aim of this article is to explore ways to interpret the role of spatial connectivity in the transformation process of informal settlements, through the case of Medellin's Urban Cable-car and the exploration of 'speed' as a measurable variable. |
