Resumo(s)
Urban mobility plays an important role in addressing urban livability. The complexification
and dispersion of travel due to the improvement of transport and the multiplication of our daily living
places underline the relevance of multilevel territorial planning, recognizing that the knowledge
of local differences is essential for more effective urban policies. This paper aims (1) to comprehend
conceptually how urban mobility contributes to the urban livability from the local to metropolitan
level and (2) to assess the previous relation toward a livable metropolis based on the readily
available statistics for the Lisbon Metropolitan Area. Hence, a triangulation between conceptual,
political/operative, and quantitative/monitoring approaches is required. The methodology follows
four steps: (1) literature review focusing on the quantification of urban mobility within the urban
livability approach; (2) data collection from the Portuguese statistics system; (3) data analysis and
results, using principal component analysis (PCA) followed by cluster analysis (CA); (4) discussion
and conclusions. In Portugal, although it is implicit, consistency is evident between the premises of
recent urban mobility policies and respective planning instruments, such as the Sustainable Urban
Mobility Plans (SUMP), and the premises of urban livability as an urban movement. Focusing on
the national statistics system, the available indicators that meet our quality criteria are scarce and
represent a reduced number of domains. Even so, they allow identifying intra-metropolitan differences
in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (LMA) that could support multilevel planning instruments.
The results identified five principal components related to commuting at the local and intermunicipal
level, including car use as well as social and environmental externalities, and they reorganized
the 18 LMA municipalities into eight groups, clearly isolating Lisbon, the capital, from the others.
The identification of sensitive territories and respective problems based on urban livability principles
is fundamental for an effective urban planning from livable communities to livable metropolis.
