Urban mobility

Abstract

Annotation : Motion and process modify the urban environment and provide fascinating scope for those interested in the field of urban studies. Both repeated and routine motion are important in understanding the functioning principles behind single urban localities and also whole metropolitan regions. Migration, commuting, financial flows and the flux of ideas. All these motions are the beats of the city and in certain sense may be seen as the substance of the urban setting. Motion can be evaluated from the perspectives of different academic fields; many questions about the contemporary development of the city reveal themselves.
