description Urbanization is developing in all areas of the planet. This process has an impact on the mobility of people in the city and the means to move both in metropolitan areas and in medium-sized cities. This article analyzes the evolution, between 2001 and 2019, of the motorized vehicle fleet in the communes of Chile in intermediate cities. Through the compilation and systematization of databases provided by official agencies and the use of statistical analysis, the explosive but heterogeneous increase of the vehicle fleet in the communes of such cities is made visible. This differentiated increase does not follow patterns related to urban hierarchy, poverty, income, or even those communes with a successful development model sustained by raw material exports. Based on the above, it is concluded that there are other multi-causal elements in the evolution of such vehicle fleet, such as inter-urban flows between communes, the morphology of the city or climatic conditions. These results invite us to reflect on the type of city that is being built and the problems in the sustainability of such growth for urban areas in the near future, due to the absence or weakness of pertinent territorial policies that favor other means of mobility.

La urbanización se desarrolla en todas las áreas del planeta. Tal proceso impacta en la movilidad de las personas en la ciudad y los medios para realizarla tanto en espacios metropolitanos como en las urbes de tamaño medio. En este artículo se analiza la evolución, entre los años 2001 y 2019 del parque vehicular motorizado en las comunas de Chile donde se localizan ciudades intermedias. Mediante la recopilación y sistematización de las bases de datos proporcionadas por organismos oficiales y el uso de análisis estadístico se visibiliza el explosivo, pero heterogéneo incremento del parque automotriz en las comunas donde se ubican tales ciudades. Este aumento diferenciado no sigue patrones relacionados con la jerarquía urbana, pobreza, ingreso, o incluso asociados a las comunas con un modelo de desarrollo exitoso sostenido en exportaciones de materias primas. Con base en lo anterior, se concluye que existen otras posibles causas, como los flujos interurbanos entre comunas, la forma de la ciudad o las condiciones climáticas. Los resultados invitan a reflexionar sobre el tipo de ciudad que se construye y las problemáticas en la sustentabilidad de tal crecimiento para áreas urbanas en un futuro próximo, debido a la ausencia o debilidad de políticas territoriales pertinentes en pro de otros medios para la movilidad. A urbanização está se desenvolvendo em todas as áreas do planeta. Esse processo impacta a mobilidade das pessoas na cidade e os meios para realizá-la tanto nos espaços metropolitanos quanto nas cidades de médio porte. Este artigo analisa a evolução, entre 2001 e 2019, da frota de veículos automotores nas comunas do Chile onde estão localizadas as cidades intermediárias. Através da compilação e sistematização das bases de dados disponibilizadas pelos organismos oficiais e da utilização de análises estatísticas, é visível o aumento explosivo, mas heterogéneo, do parque automotivo nas comunas onde se situam essas cidades. Esse aumento diferenciado não segue padrões relacionados à hierarquia urbana, pobreza, renda, ou mesmo associada a comunas com um modelo de desenvolvimento sustentado e bem-sucedido na exportação de matérias-primas. Com base no exposto, se conclui   que existem outras causas possíveis, como os fluxos interurbanos entre comunas, o formato da cidade ou as condições meteorológicas. Os resultados nos convidam a refletir sobre o tipo de cidade que se constrói e os problemas na sustentabilidade desse crescimento para as áreas urbanas no futuro próximo, devido à ausência ou fragilidade de políticas territoriais relevantes a favor de outros meios de mobilidade.
