La base de la habitabilidad urbana parte de la vivienda y los elementos urbanos que integran la ciudad, por esta razón la delimitación de variables urbanas y de vivienda se vuelve un medio para medir la habitabilidad urbana de un mismo territorio. Por lo anterior, el objetivo parte de la construcción de un índice con datos estadísticos para poder georreferenciar el grado de habitabilidad urbana; utilizando como área de estudio al municipio de Toluca, México a través de las AGEB urbanas que lo componen, obte- niendo como resultado el grado actual de habitabilidad urbana.
Las conclusiones señalan la pertinencia de medir la habitabilidad urbana para contribuir en la toma de decisiones de políticas públicas y con ello en la mejora de la habitabilidad urbana.
Livability as an object of study from architecture and urbanism is a concept referring to the spatial needs of the person based on the mínimum conditions of accessibility, health and comfort that buildings and their surroundings must provide (Torres Pérez, 2020). However, in the Mexican context, within housing regulations and policies, there is an emphasis on the physical and desingn elements that housing must contain, and a lack of contemplation towards the elements of the urban environment that are also necessary to provide a adequate livability.
From this perspective, Ziccardi (2015) points out that the lack of consideration of livability within housing policies can be identified through problems such as: the distant location from sources of employment, urban centers and schools, the cost overruns associated with the room in the house; the insecurity, and the attributes of the dwelling, such as the por quality of the materials, the size and the lack or deficiency of equipment, infraestructure and basic services.
