Opis

This volume traces the spatialities and politics of mobility, critically examining the articulation of urban space through transportation infrastructure and everyday flows, exploring connections in spatial theory and practice between transport geographies and new mobilities in the production of networked urban places.

Recenzje

This is a very strong collection, expertly written throughout, with 15 chapters considering how urban places and transport intersect and function, how transport is experienced and represented, how mobility is spatially and socially distributed, and how urban places and transport shape each other. - Robin Hickman, Journal of Transport Geography
