This book argues that urban outcomes are better understood as the
result of the interactions between policies from distinct policy
domains rather than from any single policy silo. In doing so, the
book develops and applies the Policy Interactions Framework to the
study of the mobility experience of workers in Greater Mexico City.
Four empirical studies provide the reader with a comprehensive view
of how urban policies can sometimes interact at cross-purposes to
produce inequitable urban outcomes. The chapters analyze time and
distance in the journey to work to quantify and map commuting
inequalities, assess the shift in the spatial location of the
demand for labor between 1999 and 2019, examine the default housing
pathways available for workers, and evaluate the spatial
distribution of public and common mobility resources. An outcome of
applying the Policy Interactions Framework to the study of workers'
mobility is to put forward the choiceless mobility hypothesis: a
process by which the interaction between the spatial location of
the demand for labor, the housing pathways available for workers,
and the political economy of public transport operates to produce
geographies of low accessibility to jobs. The audience of this book
consists of scholars and practitioners in the field of urban policy
analysis, urban development, and urban political economy in the
Global South.
