Abstract

This study examines how street centrality relates to socio-economic conditions in Bogotá, Colombia, using data at the urban block level. Centrality metrics—both global and local—are calculated through Multiple Centrality Assessment. Results reveal contrasting spatial patterns: middle and higher classes concentrate in areas with high global centrality, offering long-range connectivity, while lower classes cluster in areas with high local centrality, marked by dense internal networks. Findings suggest links between centrality and class inequality, contributing to debates on spatial segregation in the network society and raising hypotheses for further investigation.
