This book considers gender perspectives on the 'smart' turn in
urban and transport planning to effect-ively provide 'mobility for
all' while simultaneously attending to the goal of creating green
and inclusive cities. It deals with the conceptualisation, design,
planning, and execution of the fast-emerging 'smart' solutions. The
volume questions the efficacy of transformations being brought by
smart solutions and highlights the need for a more robust problem
formulation to guide the design of smart solutions, and further
maps out the need for stronger governance to manage the
introduction and proliferation of smart technologies. Authors from
a range of disciplinary backgrounds have contributed to this book,
designed to converse with mobility studies, transport studies,
urban-transport planning, engineering, human geography, sociology,
gender studies, and other related fields. The book fills a
substantive gap in the current gender and mobility discourses, and
will thus appeal to students and researchers studying mobilities in
the social, political, design, technical, and environmental
sciences.

This open access book focuses on migrant and minority cemetery
needs through the conceptual lens of the mobilities of the living
and the dead. In doing so, the book brings migration and mobility
studies into much-needed dialogue with death studies to explore the
symbolically and politically important issue of culturally
inclusive spaces of cemeteries and crematoria for migrants and
established minorities. The book addresses majority and minority
cemetery and crematoria provisions and practices in a range of
North West European contexts. It describes how the planning,
management and use of cemeteries and crematoria in multicultural
societies can tell us about the everyday lived experiences of
migration and migrant heritage, urban diversity, social inclusion
and exclusion in Europe, and how these relate to migrant and
minority experience of lived citizenship, practices of
territoriality and bordering, colonial/postcolonial narratives. The
book will be of interest to readers in the fields of
migration/mobilities studies and death studies, as well as policy
makers and practitioners, such as local government officers,
cemetery managers and city planners.

The book considers urban mobilities and immobilities in the Global
South through an exploration of the theoretical and methodological
entry points that can be used to further the agenda of transport
planning. Transport system improvements can (and do) have complex
and unequal impacts on different sectors of society. Conventional
approaches to analysing travel demand and transport system
performance developed in the 'Global North' are typically
ill-equipped to identify and understand the complexities and
inequities in urban areas of the Global South. Using case studies
from urban Africa and Asia, the book addresses the need to
understand the 'lived world' of mobilities and use this knowledge
to address issues that are central to our urban existence in the
21st century.

Being socially and geographically mobile is generally seen as one
of the central aspects of women's wellbeing. Alongside health,
education and political participation, mobility is indispensable in
order for women to reach goals such as agency and freedom. Building
on new philosophical underpinnings of 'mobility', whereby society
is seen to be framed by the convergence of various mobilities, this
volume focuses on the intersection of mobility, social justice and
gender. The authors reflect on five highly interdependent
mobilities that form and reform social life: *
