In social theory and sociology, time and travel in technological
cultures is one of the new and challenging research topics in the
'mobilities turn'. Yet surprisingly, contemporary practices of
mobility have till now, seen only limited theorization within these
disciplines. By analyzing historic and contextualized transit
practices, this revealing book argues that travel cannot now simply
be reduced to getting from A to B; it is an integrated part of
everyday life. In this area, researching how problems can be
identified as dilemmas and reformulated as design problems helps
create a new vocabulary; one which will not only change the agenda
in the debate on mobility problems in the public domain, but will
also suggest new ways of theorizing mobility innovations. In this
fascinating book, author Peters: develops a conceptual framework to
study contemporary transit practices and evaluate innovation
strategies gives new insights regarding historic and contemporary
design strategies and regarding innovations related to travel in
technological cultures gives special attention to electronic
timespaces and ICT based mobility innovations investigates cases of
travel in technological cultures, car travel, air travel, and
cycling in Dutch towns. An original and provocative contribution to
the emerging field of mobilities, this book will become an
essential resource for advanced undergraduate, post-graduate,
researchers and practitioners in the fields of sociology,
geography, spatial planning, policy and transportation studies.
