Urban Mobility Observatory for a Rapidly Growing Municipality

The accelerated urban growth of Escobar has led to increasing pressure on its transportation systems, with congested main roads, a rise in private vehicles, and a lack of integrated mobility data. The challenge is to design and implement an Urban Mobility Observatory that collects, integrates, and analyzes mobility data from multiple sources—such as IoT, public transport systems, and citizen surveys. This observatory will inform evidence-based decisions to optimize mobility infrastructure and promote sustainable, multimodal transport.

Main objectives:

• Develop a digital platform for mobility data analysis

• Collect and integrate real-time and historical data

• Identify patterns and mobility trends

• Improve public transport efficiency and infrastructure

• Promote sustainable and active mobility
  Expected impact:

• Better urban and transport planning

• Reduced traffic congestion

• Increased integration of mobility modes

• More walking and cycling infrastructure

• Data-driven policymaking
  Needs:

• Technical assistance and tools for data integration

• Capacity building for municipal teams

• Interoperable digital tools
