MOVYT has launched Trayectopia, a card game designed to foster reflection on our experiences of mobility in public space. The tool was created to support public officials tasked with developing mobility plans under Chile's new Public Space Contributions Law.
Traditionally, public space is understood as static—a setting for a series of disconnected infrastructures, such as plazas, bridges, streets, bus stops, and pedestrian overpasses. From a mobility perspective, however, public space is dynamic. “It is people who connect and weave it together through their daily journeys. That is why we speak of mobile inhabitation,” explained Paola Jirón, director of the Millennium Nucleus on Mobilities and Territories (MOVYT), the research center that developed Trayectopia.
Through this lens, MOVYT saw an opportunity to make a concrete contribution to public policy under the new Public Space Contributions Law, which requires the development of municipal and inter-municipal Mobility and Public Space Infrastructure Investment Plans throughout the country.
