Although these technologies did exist previously, they acquired a massive validity and were encouraged in the pandemic context causing structural changes in our lifestyles. Their large scale use reinforced the characteristics of hypermodern society, consolidating the promise of simultaneous mobility in different physical and digital spaces and generating multiple individual belongings. Cities under Covid-19 strengthened the digital prime networks allowing fluid urban connections between different geographical coordinates. Yet at the same time, urban territories become more abstract. Our awareness of people’s mobility needs and practices within urban territories becomes diffuse. Without falling into a deterministic trap, the authors point to recent trends in the intensification of the phenomenon and highlight the risk of moving towards an approach that invisibles the urban territory and along with it, socio-spatial inequality. Accessibility to opportunities is revisited in a new digital paradigm that is thought equally due to the lack of a territorial insight on that matter. However, initiatives such as the 15-Minute City, along with the increasing digital business network reveal both mobility and immobility issues that have not disappeared with Covid-19. El Covid-19 promovió un creciente uso de las tecnologías de información y comunicaciones que, si bien existían anteriormente, adquirieron vigencia masiva y fueron alentadas en el contexto pandémico, lo que provocó cambios estructurales en nuestros modos de vida. Estas tecnologías reforzaron las características de la sociedad hipermoderna, consolidando la promesa de una movilidad simultánea en distintos espacios físicos y digitales generando multipertenencias individuales. Las ciudades, bajo el Covid-19, consolidaron la existencia de redes primes digitales que permiten conexiones urbanas fluidas entre distintas coordenadas geográficas. Sin embargo, al mismo tiempo, los territorios se vuelven más abstractos. Se hace difuso el conocimiento de las necesidades y prácticas de movilidad de las personas que los habitan. Sin caer en una visión determinista, los autores advierten sobre la intensificación de ciertas tendencias que pueden representar un punto de inflexión en la invisibilización del territorio y con ello, la desigualdad socio espacial. La accesibilidad a oportunidades se revisita en un nuevo paradigma digital que se piensa de forma igualitaria por la ausencia de mirada territorial. Sin embargo, tanto el concepto de la ciudad de los 15 minutos como las nuevas redes telecomerciales, nos muestran problemáticas de movilidad e inmovilidad que no han desaparecido con el Covid-19. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rtt/article/view/10959 10.34096/rtt.i25.10959 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rtt/article/view/10959/9793 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rtt/article/view/10959/9811 Revista Transporte y Territorio; No. 25 (2021): Julio-Diciembre Revista Transporte y Territorio; Núm. 25 (2021): Julio-Diciembre 1852-7175 mobility covid-19 cities urban fragmentation movilidad covid-19 ciudades fragmentación urbana Mobility and immobility under Covid-19.
