mobility, security, transportation, sustainable developmentAbstract
Mobility is the greatest challenge for human civilization. Objective: to contribute to the conceptual discussion of the topic in two of its basic dimensions: safety and sustainability. Methodology: the authors reviewed Spanish, English and Portuguese literature on the term mobility and its relationship with road safety in sustainable transportation. Books, reports and scientific papers from 2010 onward were reviewed. Likewise, 25 texts were identified which were used to produce argumentative syntheses. Results: being able to move safely and with sustainability has implications in the physical and mental health of individuals and populations. It is a right of the citizens, a constitutional obligation and the duty of the State. It is also a determinant of welfare and development with a defined paradigmatic and historical background related to the environmental, economic and social sustainability, which is threatened by the occupation of the soil, the concentration of people and the motorization of life.
