| Summary: | The accelerated growth of cities in the twentieth century has deconcentrated the activities of their inhabitants in search of more space to live and work, which has modified the patterns of diversity and density of urban functions, generating concentration and segregation. Some groups of urban population, such as older people, do not have the spatial capital to access urban opportunities that contribute to well-being. This research proposes a Local Multifunctionality Index (LMI) that measures and compares the diversity and density of economic units in the territory (the degree of multifunctionality). The LMI is estimated at electoral section scale for the 13 metropolitan areas of the country with more than one million inhabitants in 2020. The older people group is analyzed. |
