Product Description
Just how resilient are our urban societies to social energy environmental and/or financial shocks and how does this vary among cities and nations? Can our cities be made more sustainable and can environmental economic and social collapse be staved off through changes in urban form and travel behaviour? How might rising indebtedness and the recent series of financial crises be related to automobile dependence and patterns of urban automobile use? To what extent does the system and economy of automobility factor in the production of urban socio-spatial inequalities and how might these inequalities in mobility be understood and measured? What can we learn from the politics of mobility and social movements within cities? What is the role of automobility and auto-dependence in differentiating groups both within cities and rural areas and among transnational migrants moving across international borders? These are just some of the questions this book addresses. This volume provides a holistic and reflexive account of the role played by automobility in producing reproducing and differentiating social economic and political life in the contemporary city as well as the role played by the city in producing and reproducing auto-mobile inequalities. The first section titled Driving Vulnerability deals with issues of global importance related to economic social financial and environmental sustainability and resilience and socialization. The second section Driving Inequality is concerned with understanding the role played by automobility in producing urban socio-spatial inequalities including those rooted in accessibility to work migration status and ethnic concentration and new measures of mobility-based inequality derived from the concept of effective speed. The third section titled Driving Politics explores the politics of mobility in particular places with an eye to demonstrating both the relevance of the politics of mobility for influencing and reinforcing actually existing neoliberalisms and the kinds of politics that might allow for reform or restructuring of the auto-mobile city into one that is more socially politically and environmentally just. In the conclusion to the book Walks draws on the findings of the other chapters to comment on the relationship between automobility neoliberalism and citizenship and to lay out strategies for dealing with the urban car system. | The Urban Political Economy and Ecology of Automobility Driving Cities Driving Inequality Driving Politics
