The Little Book of Mobilities in the city

Mobilities is an essential element of our everyday lives. People, things, information and ideas are constantly moving. In his book, Mobilities (2007), John Urry said: ‘it sometimes seems as if all the world is on the move’ (p.3). So, can you imagine if the world stopped moving? What would be the implications of such a prospect for societies, their economies, the environment? This little book aims to introduce you to a different way of thinking about Mobilities in John Urry’s sense of the word: not only by encouraging us to think differently about how we move, but also who and what we need to consider when thinking about movement. By doing so, it is hoped that we will contribute to developing more sustainable mobility systems for more liveable cities.
