Routledge Re-Thinking Mobility: Contemporary Sociology Book

Explore the complex relationship between transportation and society with Re-Thinking Mobility: Contemporary Sociology. Published by Routledge, this text examines how mobility is often used as an indicator for space-time compression and its broader impacts. Unlike analyses that fall into technological determinism, this book investigates the actual motivations behind human movement. By distinguishing between speed potentials and their actual use, the work addresses how technological transportation systems act as vectors for social change. This groundbreaking examination provides a deep look into the sociological aspects of movement, moving beyond simple speed metrics to understand the social drivers of modern mobility.
