ABSTRACT<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making the City Mobile: Urban History and the Mobilities Turn<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What difference does mobility make to our understanding of modern cities? We are familiar with the idea of the city as a \u2018space of flows\u2019 but often think of the urban in static terms related to the built environment and social \u2018structures.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This talk challenges the idea of the city as a fixed space by drawing on insights from the \u2018mobilities turn\u2019 in the social sciences. It brings together the study of migration, personal mobility and transport to reflect on the \u2018high-speed mobile society\u2019 emerging in Western cities in the mid-twentieth century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I shall use Britain as my principal case-study but extend arguments out to the rest of Western Europe and North America where appropriate. Integrating an awareness of movement into contemporary urban history, I argue, has the potential to throw new light on the categories of class, race and gender and debates about \u2018affluence\u2019 and inequality which have characterised recent historiography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
