The purpose of this paper is to describe the geographical patterns and the incidence of residential segregation in daily mobility at the urban agglomerations of Bogotá, Cali and Medellín. Starting from a conceptual reflection on residential segregation, the impact on daily mobility and the need to undertake comparative studies, different geostatistical techniques are used to calculate a quality of life indicator at a micro scale. Moreover, the relationship with daily mobility is evaluated in order to compare the incidence of residential segregation in the social groups commuting trips. As a result, it is obtained that segregation presents particularities in its geographical patterns in the three case studies and that there is a low probability of interaction between low and high quality of life social groups, also, there is a daily mobility of non-work trips that is significantly restricted to an interaction between the population with the same quality of life.

The article presents part of the work carried out in the framework of the Modural project "Sustainable mobility practices in Latin American metropolises: a comparative study of Bogota and Lima", launched in January 2020. Modural is an international and multidisciplinary project financed by the anr (French National Research Agency). It focuses on sustainable mobility practices and on the specific situation of deprived outskirts. The paper has two objectives. First, to highlight the socio-spatial patterns of mobility inequalities and the struggles in the peripheries in Lima and Bogotá. Second, to present the methodology for selecting the areas with the greatest social disadvantage and the greatest difficulties in daily mobility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to build a review to the correspondence between the discourse of political ideology, the discourse of urban ideology and its manifestation in architectural realization. The text generally consists of two main bodies. The first, reviews the process of building the modern movement in architecture and urbanism and then subsequent transit and implementation in Colombia, specifically in Bogotá. It is necessary to note that the political speech to revise is Colombian, although the Modern Movement has a European origin and American developments, the context to review is specifically limited by the interaction of these ideas with the historical-geographical space of Bogotá, embodied in the urban development of the city. Under these rules, the European political considerations are hardly references to contextualize the modern movement itself and its vicissitudes. Also, the definition of the time period of study, which is due to the appearance in the country of the need to consider the problem of urban planning through intellectual exercises grounded in architecture, urbanism and medicine; the latter as a driver of the concepts of modern ideology of healthy living and social hygiene (Ramírez, 2000b).

The paper shows some preliminary results and reflections generated in the research that is carry out in the Master in Urban Management at Piloto University of Colombia, it is about the metropolitan relationships between Bogotá and Soacha, under the residential segregation phenomenon and daily population mobility; specifically it discusses the implications generated by the macro-project 'Ciudad Verde' (Green City), in this sense, it studies if the project execution has repercussions and implications for their inhabitants. The discussion leads to the next question: Whether the development of a housing macro-project as Green City would generate residential segregation? In that sense, the results describe some relevant findings and suggest that in terms of mobility conditions, there is a serious deterioration due to the impact in the reduced family budget, which implies an over cost due to the need of using more than one transportation mean, as well as higher travel time.
