Drawing from work on mobilities and geographies of the lifecourse,
this collection is concerned with the ways in which age, as a
relational concept, is constructed and played out in mobile urban
space. With studies of ageing and mobility often focusing on
discrete age groups, most notably children and older people, this
study seeks to fill a gap in existing literature by exploring
mobility in relation to the lifecourse and generation, looking not
only at the margins. Whilst some generations are increasingly
mobile, others are less so and this disparity in mobility
opportunity is relational as age is relational. This book addresses
gaps in knowledge in relational geographies of ageing, whilst
contributing to literature on mobility and transport, in particular
the burgeoning field of mobility (in)justice. Here mobility is
considered in its broadest sense, for example in relation to the
movement or lack of movement of bodies and to computer-mediated
intergenerational communications. Through focusing on urban mobile
spaces, from very local spaces of medical care to global spaces of
migration that are the context for intergenerational mobilities,
this collection explores these interdependencies and considers ways
in which intergenerational mobilities are conceptualised and
researched.
