The very routines of our daily life are to a great extent the
expression of our vulnerability and dependence on incredibly wide
and complex networks and socio-technical systems. Following
people's routes in the city, makes visible the differentially
distributed capacities and potentials for mobility. In today's
consumer society, shopping is the kind of mundane and routine
mobility that we all engage in. Yet having a first child or growing
old radically changes people's logistical habits as consumers, what
the authors of this book call consumer logistics; moving from home
to the store and back home again with recent purchases. Depending
on the ages and number of children in the family and the condition
of one's body (physical health and strength), going shopping
requires quite different settings and gear. Exploring consumer
mobility through the lens of life phase and age will deepen the
understanding of hitherto under-researched aspects of the ageing
process, and of mobility, knowledge that is of vital importance for
societies striving for sustainable mobility and sustainable cities.
