Movilidades cotidianas de las personas con discapacidad en Ciudad de México y San José (Costa Rica): preguntas iniciales

The purpose of this article is to present some initial questions on the role of urban planning and its role in meeting the urban mobility needs of people with disabilities in two Latin American cities. The paper is divided into three sections: the first presents some details on the contexts in which the analysis was developed. The second refers to the testimonies of people with disabilities with whom we have been able to talk about their access to the city and the situations they experience on a daily basis. And finally, the last section presents an analysis of five dimensions in which we identified critical points, namely: 1) social interaction; 2) barriers; 3) access to information and legibility of the city; 4) mobility aids; and 5) environmental characteristics.
