abstract: 'Urban mobility conditions play a main role in shaping inequalities in

  megacities. In the municipality of Sao Paulo, work-related trips take

  62\% longer, are 100\% more lengthy and 25\% more motorized compared to

  other reasons. The objective of this work is to quantitatively assess

  the city''s master plan guidelines which encourage the decrease in the

  job-housing distance, through the creation of local job offers in the

  suburbs to effectively decrease the commuting time of the suburban

  population. The analysis was carried out using a specific spatial

  regression model (the Spatial Error Durbin Model), using data from an

  extensive origin-destination survey. Results show that an increase in

  10\% in local job offers in a 7-km radius buffer in Sao Paulo would

  decrease the mean distance travelled in about 5.2\%, which would be

  particularly beneficial for the suburban areas. This highlights the

  importance of incorporating the spatial planning of land use within

  transport planning in a megacity environment. Therefore, policymakers

  should consider strategies to bring housing and jobs closer as means to

  not only decrease transport inequities, but also to mitigate pollutant

  emissions, health burdens and economic losses, leading to overall

  improvements in quality of life. With the growing trend in remote work

  imposed by the pandemic, it will be necessary to improve our

  understanding of the relationship between employment and urban mobility

  conditions.'
