About this document
Transport Policies and Inequality in Rio by RODRIGO JUAN MARTINS CARDOZO is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This paper examines the distributional effects of transport policies on socio-spatial inequalities in access to opportunities in Rio de Janeiro, particularly in the context of the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics. It finds that despite substantial investments in public transport, subsequent service cuts have disproportionately harmed low-income groups, exacerbating existing inequalities rather than alleviating them. The study highlights the importance of considering the modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP)
