Making Mobilities Matter, Paperback / softback Book

Making Mobilities Matter Paperback / softback

Part of the Changing Mobilities series

Paperback / softback

Description

Making Mobilities Matter explores the interconnection between everyday practice and policy and planning in urban mobilities.

It develops a theoretical framework for understanding everyday life and its mobilities in a mobile risk society and critiques the technocratic views that still dominate transport politics and research.

Recognizing the importance of culture and everyday life in shaping urban mobilities, it examines how contemporary communities exist, expand, and are sustained through localized and virtual forms of sharing responsibility, exchanging life experiences, creating meaning, and giving ontological security to people’s lives.

It also offers perspectives on the emotional aspect of mobilities in everyday life and how utopias can respond to these emotions.

Making Mobilities Matter ends with a discussion of the prospects for urban mobilities in the future and how these issues are vital in battling climate change. Making Mobilities Matter is essential reading for students and researchers seeking to understand the importance of mobilities in sustainable urban development and tackling climate change.
