Description

This book explores how from the mid-C19th cultural, political, social, technological and economic factors have shaped the mobilities of people, things and information within several urban regions in Asia, Europe, and North and South America. By focussing on the cultural and material manifestations of 'hurry', the essays analyse the complexities, tensions and contradictions inherent in the impulse to higher rates of circulation in modernizing cities. Together the essays demonstrate there are many pathways to modern urban mobility and hence suggest that metropolitan regions in the future might be open to a range of ways of moving and dwelling.
