This book examines contemporary urban sharing mobilities, such as
shared and public forms of everyday urban mobility. Tracing the
social and economic history of sharing mobilities and examining
contemporary case studies of mobility sharing services, such as
Car2go, BlaBlaCar, and Uber, the authors raise questions about what
these changes mean for access to and engagement with the public
spaces of transport in the city. Drawing on the thought of
Lefebvre, the book considers how contemporary sharing mobilities
are affecting people's 'right to the city', with particular
attention paid to the privatised, frictionless practices of
movement through the city. In addition, the authors ask what has
happened to earlier forms of shared mobility and illustrate how
some of these practices continue successfully today. Considering
the potential that modern incarnations of shared mobilities offer
to urban citizens for engaging in meaningful shared mobilities that
are not simply determined by the interfaces of technology and
market forces, this book will appeal to sociologists and
geographers with interests in mobility and urban studies.
