Currently, because many cities of Colombia

Currently, because many cities of Colombia have had urban developments guided towards the peripheries, in unproductive places, or with low possibilities developing, there have been changes in the forms of mobility, which have caused the detriment of the quality of life of the citizens of the capitals in recent decades. For instance, the growth of the city at its ends has caused travel patterns to vary, the number of vehicles to rise, and the time invested in making daily trips is increasing. According to this, while the further away a person lives from the zones where they must carry out an activity, they will have to face more problems associated with mobility every day. In some cases, there is a loss of time due to accidents and traffic jams, but in other cases are health effects on the public, labor, and social exclusion, as expressed by Avellaneda (2007). However, the different modes of transportation that exist can intensify them. In other words, the highest population growth rates are located spatially in areas where the consolidation processes are not complete and since the greatest concentration of productive zones is in the center of the city, there will always be a greater flow of people moving from the peripheries toward the center. That is to say, displacements resemble the movements of systole and diastole of the heart, where in the morning the trips are towards the center (systole) and at night towards the outskirts (diastole).
