PRIORITIZATION OF URBAN MOBILITY INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS BASED ON URBAN CONFIGURATION AND ON MULTIDIMENSIONAL SCALING

ABSTRACT Purpose: This article aims to propose an alternative methodology of analysis, assessment, and prioritization urban mobility master projects capable supporting investment decision-making, considering financial, economic, space variables. Originality/value: There are no clear criteria on project proposal selection, what corroborates the critics about selection process in Ministry Cities. Intrinsically economic issues that leveled recent methodologies analyses variables considered hard be converted into financial benefits make up evaluation. Design/methodology/approach: The proposed will draw multidimensional scaling as a multivariate assessment tool order evaluate prioritize using their variables, spatial planning, models each project. arise from analysis available projects, well projects’ financing models. acquired social logic theory or syntax allow cities’ integration capacity before implementation after development, making it possible identify improvements conditions. Findings: use by applying has proved effective promoting whether indicating best identifying how close and/or distant they objectives given public policy.
