Introduction: Diversity and Evolution of Urban Mobility Systems

Résumé

This volume of the Infrastructure and Mobility Networks Geography set offers insight into the geographical organization of urban mobility systems around the world. Infrastructure networks, transport services and the travel practices of populations constitute the mobility system. Contributions to this book are varied. Some are based on one case study in particular, while others put several urban contexts into perspective, analyze travel practices or study mobility policies and services. All of them focus on better understanding the different aspects of mobility systems.

This book is multidisciplinary. It comprises 12 chapters, organized into four parts and written by 16 researchers from the fields of geography, sociology, urban planning, socioeconomics and political science. The book aims to highlight the geographical diversity of mobility systems, based on case studies in Africa, North and South America, Asia and Europe.

Urban mobility systems are evolving. For more than a century, the demand for mobility has risen. This is due to population growth at a global level, an increase in living standards and better transport efficiency, thanks to technological progress - primarily the motorization of vehicles and the transformation of industry and society. The shift from transport to mobility, from a world of cities and countryside to a predominantly urban world, is leading to paradigm shifts that have impacted mobility systems. These changes are both a reflection of structural transformations and the source of new questions.
