The contemporary urban experience is defined by flow and structured
by circulating people, objects, and energy. Geographers have long
provided key insights into transportation systems. But today,
concerns for social justice and sustainability motivate new,
critical approaches to mobilities. Reimagining the city prompts an
important question: How best to rethink urban geographies of
transport and mobility? This original book explores connections -
in theory and practice - between transport geographies and "new
mobilities" in the production of urban space. It provides a broad
introduction to intersecting perspectives of urban geography,
transport geography, and mobilities studies on urban "places of
flows." Diverse, international, and leading-edge contributions
reinterpret everyday intersections as nodes, urban corridors as
links, cities and regions as networks, and the discourses and
imaginaries that frame the politics and experiences of mobility.
The chapters illuminate nearly all aspects of urban transport, from
street regulation and roadway planning, intended and "subversive"
practices of car and truck drivers, planning and promotion of mass
transit investments, and the restructuring of freight and logistics
networks. Together these offer a unique and important contribution
for social scientists, planners, and others interested in the
politics of the city on the move.
