Differential mobilities in contemporary cities

Although the study of barriers and inequality is central to understanding the dynamics of mobility and the structuring of urban life, we consider it relevant to also advance in understanding the strategies that these groups build to face the challenges of urban life. Different populations experience varying degrees of freedom or restriction when travelling, depending on their social, economic and spatial position. Depending on the characteristics of the individuals, but especially the social groups in which they are inserted, it is possible to observe creative mobility strategies to face the barriers imposed by the organisation of urban space, inequality or transport policies.
