Social transportation” denotes attention to the social forces that shape and are shaped by transport. This entry charts the most significant points of evolution of the concept of social transportation in sociology and the cognate disciplines of anthropology and geography. These are as follows: a shift from seeing transport as a means of achieving universal access to services to appreciating its role in the production of inequalities; a shift from seeing transport producing uniform patterns of urban growth to appreciating its role in the production of pattern variability; and, via what has come to be known as the “mobilities turn” or, more ambitiously, the “mobilities paradigm,” an appreciation of travel and transport being more than mere instrumental phenomena, concerned solely with getting from one point to another. Increasingly, social transportation is concerned with the meaningfulness of travel and transport
