This book explores mobilities as a key to understanding the
practices that both frame and generate contemporary everyday life
in the urban context. At the same time, it investigates the
challenges arising from the interpretation of mobility as a
socio-spatial phenomenon both in the social sciences and in urban
studies. Leading sociologists, economists, urban planners and
architects address the ways in which spatial mobilities contribute
to producing diversified uses of the city and describe forms and
rhythms of different life practices, including unexpected uses and
conflicts. The individual sections of the book focus on the role of
mobility in transforming contemporary cities; the consequences of
interpreting mobility as a socio-spatial phenomenon for urban
projects and policies; the conflicts and inequalities generated by
the co-presence of different populations due to mobility and by the
interests gathered around major mobility projects; and the use of
new data and mapping of mobilities to enhance comprehension of
cities. The theoretical discussion is complemented by references to
practical experiences, helping readers gain a broader understanding
of mobilities in relation to the capacity to analyze, plan and
design contemporary cities.
