Reviews

'These theoretically rich, creative essays open up a discussion on the connection between mobility and inequality. The book shows how different types of mobility generate special paths of social exclusion, and what patterns of inequality structure mobility potential. The contributors from sociology, geography, political science, and planning discuss a variety of applications in spatial inequality research.' Martina Löw, University of Darmstadt, Germany 'Given that mobility is a basic principle of modernity along with individuality, rationality, equality and globality we need an extended view of the interrelations between social and spatial mobilities. In particular, the book's editors pay special attention to the dimension of inequality in mobility and the collection as a whole is a necessary and overdue discussion of this important topic.
