Resumen

Urban mobility in Latin America goes beyond purely technical aspects to become part of the historical tensions surrounding modernization and the search for social justice. In light of this, the objective of the research was to critically analyze the relationship between civil engineering as a responsible professional profile and urban mobility for the construction of sustainable transportation and travel systems. Therefore, the research employed a documentary methodological approach with a critical hermeneutic assessment that allowed for the analysis and interpretation of specialized sources. Among the main results, it is noteworthy how urban mobility and spatial segregation gave rise to paradigmatic changes, where public policies prioritized inclusivity and social equity, without losing sight of the underlying gaps. For this reason, the profile of civil engineering graduates must be reconfigured towards the pursuit of disruptive learning. It was concluded that sustainable mobility is a field of struggle and historical tensions, which seeks the decentralization of power, community empowerment, and historical resilience.
