From this point of view, with two partners (ITC from Twente University and Cape Town University) we submitted a proposal for modeling urban accesibility for poor neighborhoods in Bogota (Colombia) and Cape Town (Sout Africa). Which aims at imrpoving accesibility for those in vulnerable situations, mainly poor people living in the periphery of this big cities.
