Sumario:To reflect on the challenges of urban mobility and transport, it is useful to begin by defining the precise meaning of these concepts, to review what and how to measure them, and to conduct the resulting evaluation, decision making and action implementation process. This paper aims to provide some conceptual and methodological contributions to mobility and transport studies, regarding them as a necessary framework to understand the challenges raised in globalized cities, in both practice and academic fields. It methodologically reviews the discussion in the field from the practical and theoretical use of terms. As a result, we end up in a reconstruction of the definitions for mobility and transport, as well as unit of study: the journey. These tools set up a field of knowledge and claim for a theoretical-methodological complementary corpus to the mainstream concepts in transport studies.
