    Transportation-Related Air Pollution: Implementing Electric Bikes in Paraná
    (2023-11-21) Canavelli, Valentino
    Summary - Paraná, in Argentina, is the capital city of Entre Ríos and a place where there is a convergence of industrial sectors, cultural events, and urban growth. This city is characterized by these activities and a diverse landscape with 270 neighborhoods spread across its expanse of 137 square kilometers. This urban vitality comes with increased transportation, which contributes to air pollution. The purpose of this work is to address the problem of air pollution caused by transportation in Paraná, Entre Ríos, Argentina. This will be achieved by describing the implementation of electric bikes as a solution. This work is structured as follows. First, a detailed description of the city of Paraná is provided, with a focus on three key aspects: the cultural, historical, and tourist. Following that, the issue under study is presented, and its critical aspects are identified. Then, some images are described to help the reader visualize and understand the problem being addressed. Subsequently, the analysis of the causes that generate the issue is done. In the fifth section, the identification and detailed description of the consequences resulting from this problem are carried out. Then, the solution to the problem is proposed. Finally, in the last section, a comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages that come with the implementation of this solution is conducted. The expected impact of this work is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the improvement of air quality, and a healthier urban environment, ultimately enhancing the well-being of city residents and providing a sustainable transportation alternative. Therefore, this project represents a significant step towards a more sustainable future and a better balance between urban growth and environmental preservation.
