Gendering Smart Mobilities

This book considers gender perspectives on the âsmartâ turn in urban and transport planning to effect-ively provide âmobility for allâ while simultaneously attending to the goal of creating green and inclusive cities. It deals with the conceptualisation design planning and execution of the fast-emerging âsmartâ solutions. The volume questions the efficacy of transformations being brought by smart solutions and highlights the need for a more robust problem formulation to guide the design of smart solutions and further maps out the need for stronger governance to manage the introduction and proliferation of smart technologies. Authors from a range of disciplinary backgrounds have contributed to this book designed to converse with mobility studies transport studies urban-transport planning engineering human geography sociology gender studies and other related fields. The book fills a substantive gap in the current gender and mobility discourses and will thus appeal to students and researchers studying mobilities in the social political design technical and environmental sciences. .
