Abstract
In the last twenty years, the structuring of the urban territory and the organization of the systems of transportation have influenced how poor and segregated households access different locations where urban services and main urban activities are accommodated. These situations have motivated academics to study urban accessibility, especially in developed metropolitan regions. This paper comes to grips with similar phenomena in the context of a developing urban area trying to extend and nuance the existing body of knowledge. The paper reflects in how populations in non-central and peripheral areas travel to their job, educational and shopping centers, and to clinics and hospitals. It is based on a survey carried in 2015 in Guadalajara Metropolitan Area, México, and resumes the main outcomes to update the proposals that are framed in the developed countries.
