Over the past ten years, the study of mobility has demonstrated
groundbreaking approaches and new research patterns. These
investigations criticize the concept of mobility itself, suggesting
the need to merge transport and communication research, and to
approach the topic with novel instruments and new methodologies.
Following the debates on the role of users in shaping transport
technology, new mobility research includes debates from sociology,
planning, economy, geography, history, and anthropology. This
edited volume examines how users, policy-makers, and industrial
managers have organized and continue to organize mobility, with a
particularly attention to Europe, North America, and Asia. Taking a
long-term and comparative perspective, the volume brings together
thirteen chapters from the fields of urban studies, history,
cultural studies, and geography. Covering a variety of countries
and regions, these chapters investigate how various actors have
shaped transport systems, creating models of mobility that differ
along a number of dimensions, including public vs. private
ownership and operation as well as individual vs. collective forms
of transportation. The contributions also examine the extent to
which initial models have created path dependencies in terms of
technology, physical infrastructure, urban development, and
cultural and behavioral preferences that limit subsequent choices.
