Movement is one of the defining features of urban life. The study of urban mobility focuses on a range of ways in which people, objects, and ideas move through urban space. Within this it is the movement of people through migration and settlement that has been most notable in urban scholarship. Initially viewed as a relatively linear process of arrival and settlement, migration is increasingly associated with more complex and uneven forms of urban mobility as migrants become increasingly transnationally involved and states take an active role in governing the presence and practices of different mobile subjects.
