In the blind spot of AI-based mobility
As AI systems increasingly shape urban mobility futures, the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion have become central to responsible design. While race, gender, and age have been extensively studied, people with reduced mobility (PRM) remain underrepresented in empirical research on AI and autonomous vehicles (AVs). This article addresses this critical gap by investigating how disability and intersecting social categories are perceived …

Obituary
Contouring the mobile risk society
The contours of the "mobile risk society" are becoming increasingly visible. Contemporary discourses on climate change have gained in intensity and represent a significant semantic shift. The modern idea of the controllability and domestication of natural processes and the anthropogenic impacts of modern lifestyles, consumption and production patterns are being deconstructed and their side effects can be experienced on a daily basis. Multiple war…

What is the urban without physical mobilities? Covid-19-induced immobility in the mobile risk society
Since the World Health Organization’s (WHO) declared the Coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic, the virus has invaded lives around the globe. The ongoing health, social and economic crisis that followed forced urban life, business, culture, community etc. into idle mode for weeks resulting from mandated immobility. What was once taken for granted as the essence of urban experience such as cultural activities, meeting friends, relatives and colle…
Handbook of Research Methods and Applications for Mobilities
Reflecting the variety and diversity of mobile methods and their applications, this comprehensive Handbook illuminates the multiple dimensions and transdisciplinary nature of mobilities research, from transport to tourism, cargo to information as well as physical, virtual and imaginative mobilities. It brings together key contributions on the state of the art of qualitative and quantitative research, multimethod combinations and co-creation metho…
Handbook on Research Methods and Applications for Mobilities
In the end, it is up to the individual
The discussion on automated mobilities tends to be highly speculative and future-oriented. Many predictions have been made about the ways in which transport will be radically transformed by the ongoing development and implementation of various automated technologies. One criticism leveled at this rapidly expanding societal debate is that it is often based on mere-conjecture. There is a benefit in doing more grounded analysis of automated transpor…

Sharing mobilities. Some propaedeutic considerations
The sharing economy in general and the increasing number of sharing services in mobilities in particular stand, in many ways, for a phenomenon which is somehow bulky and unwieldy for classical economic theory. Within social sciences, these new practices of sharing rather than owning have been labelled in different ways highlighting distinctive characteristics of what sharing mobilities might mean for different people and networks. A common charac…

The New Mobilities Regimes
In recent years, globalization research has moved social and spatial mobilization to the center of attention in social theory. Social, political, economic, and cultural developments geared toward worldwide interconnected structures of interaction and exchange of physical, social, and digital units are interpreted as an allembracing liquefaction of spatial, social, and cultural relations (Sloterdijk 1989; Urry 2000; Bauman 2000; Tomlinson 2003; Cr…

Mobilities, Futures & the City
The future of cities and regions will be strongly shaped by the mobilities of people, goods, modes of transport, waste and information. In many ways, the ‘why and ‘for what’ often get lost in discourses on planning and designing mobilities. The predominant planning paradigm still conceptualizes the future of cities and mobilities as a matter of rather more efficient technologies than of social cohesion, integration and connectivity. Sustainable m…
Corporate Mobilities Regimes. Mobility, Power and the Socio-geographical Structurations of Mobile Work
This article introduces the concept of mobility regimes and points out three discursive dimensions: the normalization, rationalization and time-space-compression of mobility. It concentrates on corporate mobility, business travel and mobile work, and gives a focused overview on current developments in research. Sociology has largely neglected the topic of spatial mobility. Dealings with distance and travel, however, are driving forces for the mod…

Pioneering Mobilities
The paper presents empirical data from a research project on mobility pioneers. It shows new mobility patterns and constellations of mobility and immobility, movement and motility (mobility potential). The author raises the question as to whether the reported subject-oriented strategies for coping with the modern 'mobility imperative' open up a perspective on a structural change in the modern concept of mobility and mobility practice. The theory …
Democracy in the risk society? Learning from the new politics of mobility in Munich
It is often assumed that more democratic procedures will help bring about a more sustainable organisation of society. This assumption is questioned using the case of transport policy in Munich, and thus addresses the way in which the key issue of mobility is handled institutionally in a risk society. The importance of new democratic, participatory practices is illuminated as is the prominent role of new practices on a ‘corporatist’ footing. The n…

Der unscharfe Ort der Politik — eine Einleitung
Erleben wir eine Wiederkehr der Politik? Oder eine Krise, vielleicht sogar das Ende der Politik? Für beide Deutungen finden sich Anzeichen. Auf der einen Seite steht das für viele überraschende Faktum einer Renaissance der Sozialdemokratie in Europa: und zwar einer pluralen Mitte-links-Sozialdemokratie, die es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht hat, den Wohlfahrtsstaat unter den Bedingungen der Globalisierung zu reformieren, die Demokratie transnational im…

Topographien mobiler Möglichkeitsräume. Zur soziomateriellen Netzwerkanalyse von Mobilitätspionieren
Modernisierungsdebatten zeichnen sich durch eine gewisse Abstinenz raumsoziologischer Fragen und Perspektiven aus. Zwar wird die Transformation kapitalistischer Gesellschaften in Verbindung mit Globalisierung, Entgrenzung, Netzwerkbildung und Virtualisierung diskutiert. Doch die geographisch-raumlichen Dimensionen dieser Entwicklungsprozesse bleiben nur allzu oft ausgeblendet.1 Das ist insofern bemerkenswert, als die Entstehung einer globalen Wel…
