<p>The European Union, its member states and local authorities have been working for long time on the design of solutions for future sustainable mobility. The promotion of a sustainable and affordable urban transport contemplates the bicycle as a mean of transport. The reasons for analysing the cycling mobility in urban areas, has its origin in the confrontation with motorized vehicles, as a sustainable response to the environment. In this context of sustainable mobility, the research team has studied the use of bicycles in Mediterranean cities, specifically in coastal tourist areas. The present work shows the development of a mobility index oriented to the bicycle, transport that competes with the private vehicle. By means of a survey methodology, the research group proceeded to collect field data and the subsequent analysis of them, for the development of a mobility index adapted to bicycle mobility, and with possibilities to adapt to urban environments.</p>
European cities are facing enormous challenges in accessibility and livability terms due to several European directives, which are compulsory in the mid/long term, traffic congestion levels are still increasing, and air pollution and noise disturbs citizens' lives. This work presents the study carried out in a Mediterranean city to define an Environmental Zone with traffic restrictions for vehicles in the historical centre of the city of Cartagena (Spain) by exploring different urban logistics measures to tackle main problems caused by freight deliveries and pickups in the city centre. These solutions aimed to enhance the efficiency of vehicles, and to reduce both traffic congestion the environmental impacts caused by freight delivery in the city in order to improve urban sustainability.
El problema de la vivienda obrera en España se estuvo generando durante décadas debido a diferentes causas socioeconómicas. La promulgación de la 1ª Ley de Casas Baratas en 1911 fue la primera respuesta del Estado como toma de conciencia de este grave problema social, pero en tanto se gestaba, las distintas soluciones para el alojamiento obrero fueron propuestas por múltiples agentes (privados, cooperativas, administración, etc.). Este artículo ofrece un recorrido por algunos proyectos significativos de vivienda obrera en la comarca de Cartagena analizando sus propuestas gráficas, desde las obras más sencillas y cotidianas, hasta la solución excepcional del proyecto para el primer concurso de vivienda social en la España del siglo XX, que propone la construcción de dos barrios obreros en Cartagena. Finalmente se exponen los aspectos y pautas identificadas en este tipo de representaciones para la producción de vivienda.
