Fue un gusto participar del panel “Trabajos móviles” en la @UNAM_MX. Muy importante escuchar las ponencias sobre el movimiento de trabajadores “informales”, su visibilidad en la Ciudad y sus implicaciones para la gobernanza urbana.

Taxi-rutas en Quito
Muy interesantes miradas "salidas de la caja", necesarias para la inclusión
