Abstract

The main objective of this essay is to demonstrate the predictability of a landscape sustainability assessment model for Bogotá, based upon primary and secondary sources. The model’s predictability lies on the relevance of considered variables, as well as the consistent interaction among those variables in order to explain multifactor phenomena, such as the sustainable mobility of a city. Finally, a set of possible scenarios, which are aimed to improve the implementation of a sustainable mobility policy, will be presented. This set will be the result of the sustainable mobility assessment model created as a predictive model for the city.
