Mobilities Research

Mobilities Research is the study of how people, goods, and information move within societies and across borders. It examines the patterns, reasons, and impacts of movement—such as commuting, migration, travel, and transportation systems—considering social, economic, environmental, and cultural factors. This research helps us understand how mobility shapes identities, relationships, and urban development, and addresses challenges like congestion, climate change, and inequality. By analyzing these movement patterns, Mobilities Research informs better policies and innovations to create more efficient, sustainable, and equitable ways for people and resources to move.
