abstract: 'This research was aimed at exploring levels of equity in accessibility

  to employment and education in the city-region of Bogota, Colombia''s

  capital city. Building on consolidated methodologies for the assessment

  of potential accessibility, we estimate accessibility indicators at the

  zone level, evaluate how potential accessibility varies among income

  groups, and present evidence related to transport mode, in order to

  analyze social and spatial inequalities produced by the distribution of

  accessibility to employment and education activities. The research

  incorporates a method to evaluate how accessibility varies among zones

  according to average income and mode of transport in order to produce

  evidence-based arguments that can inform transport policy in the

  city-region of Bogota, and other similar contexts in the Global South.

  Our results show strong distributional effects of the socio-spatial and

  economic structure of the city-region, its transport infrastructure and

  services, and the effect of current transport and land-use policies for

  citizens of different income groups. The tools and empirical evidence in

  this research seek to contribute to informed policy development in Latin

  America and other developing contexts, and feeding current debates on

  the role of accessibility in addressing social and spatial inequalities

  stemming from urban mobility. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights
