Abstract
Currently, 56.2% of the world is already urbanised, and several negative externalities follow this continuous growth, such as congestion, pollution, discrepancies of access to public transport and services, and social inequality. To reverse this scenario land use and transport planning should be carried side-by-side. Yet, currently, land use and transport planning procedures still exist in separate silos, each with its own institutions, disciplinary and cultural background. As a result, many authors indicate what keeps frustrating land use and transport integration (LUTI), which relate to an institutional incongruence affecting LUTI implementation and the need for shared planning concepts that integrate transport and land use solutions. Elaborating on a wide body of literature on justice and equity in transportation as well as accessibility and LUTI, this study set out to provide more in-depth understanding into: What are the impacts of institutional incongruence regarding LUTI implementation on individuals’ access to public transport? The present research carried a qualitative multiple case study: the RandstadRail project, Netherlands, and the BRT project at the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The results indicate that in both contexts the institutional incongruence found affects mainly the access of vulnerable groups to public transport and opportunities.
