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]
