These reallocations often take an experimental character and are accompanied by participation processes. Increased citizen participation results from both a paradigm shift in urban planning and a discourse shift towards mobility justice, emphasizing procedural and recognitional aspects of the transport transition. However, participatory planning processes themselves are conflict-ridden. They are criticised for favouring a loud, priviliged minority. Based on the need for diverse knowledge for mobility justice, including lived expertise, this study examines reasons for (non-) participation among structurally disadvantaged groups in transport planning, using Berlin’s Graefekiez neighbourhood as a case study. Focus groups were conducted with mobility-disabled people and women from a residential area with low socio-economic status. Our analysis revealed that non-participation was influenced by the feeling of being excluded and ignored. Simultaneously, the research format created was perceived as a welcoming space that better reflects the lived expertise of the neighbourhood and facilitates real exchange of perspectives. Based on this, recommendations are derived to improve participatory transport planning processes and the strengths of transdisciplinary projects.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"20 3","pages":"Pages 555-572"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144106860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two significant contributions emerge from this study, enriching the literature on these topics. Firstly, the paper unveils Newark’s historical transformation into a specific urban form termed as the ‘Teleport City’. This designation encapsulates the city’s evolution, shaped by geo-historically determined patterns of suburbanization, urban renewal, economic discrimination against the city’s Black population, residential segregation, and the neoliberal ‘economic uncoupling’ of Downtown. The analysis spans from the postwar ‘urban crisis’ through the current era, an historical period featured by industrial decline, neo-liberal revitalization, and novel forms of what could be termed as ‘post-industrial’ segregation. Secondly, the paper delves into instances of ‘kinetic segregation’ in Newark, emphasizing the impact of a number of historical instances of socio-spatial injustices that persist at the metropolitan level into the present day. Specifically, the paper argues that mobilities studies allow for a nuanced and profound understanding of contemporary segregation in the US, by discussing how metropolitan post-industrial mobilities contribute to socio-spatial disparities, exacerbated by neoliberal policies and unjust political practices in contemporary Newark.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"20 3","pages":"Pages 518-535"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144106952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We draw upon interviews with 15 hyper-mobile couriers and courier company managers as well as gamete donor coordinators. Our aim in this paper is to examine the largely invisible ‘mobile work’ undertaken by couriers in shipping gametes and embryos across the world. We examine the dimensions of these vital mobility infrastructures—technologies; companies; regulations; and social dispositions of courier work as part of the complex supply chains of assisted reproductive cycles.

Yet, the preponderance of research has emphasised workers’ movements that are fairly large-scale and routes-based. This paper proposes another kind of mobility that is of equal significance—that of micro-mobilities <em>by</em> labour, or more accurately by their bodies. Using original research conducted through semi-structured interviews with 40 customer service agents working in an international airport in Asia, the paper examines three kinds of aesthetic labour that these workers perform alongside passengers. Enacted through various bodily motions intended to speed up aeromobile processes and augment productivity, I argue that these performances produce a (tenuous) aesthetics of assuring presence, orderly movement, and passing time. As more and more work tasks are redistributed across the airport between staff and passengers, ‘new’ automation presents an opportunity to reflect on the mobile practices being invented as self-service technologies infiltrate customer service and other work where human relations and decision-making skills are required. More broadly, it also uncovers the gendered politics of bodily comport, gaits, gestures and other micro-movements in labour (re)production in a wider age of technological change.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"20 2","pages":"Pages 329-344"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140382256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Engaging with the social studies of testing and automobility futures research, this article examines how AV tests in real-world settings do double duty as tests of society, even as they are marked by social deficits. I develop this analysis by juxtaposing two very different perspectives on automated mobility testing, those of 1) UK AV experts, and 2) residents, artists and researchers who live or work in the West Midlands Future Mobility testbed. I develop two claims. First, I show how real-world testing of automated vehicles remains vehicle-centric, to the point that testing for social aspects for some experts is only conceivable in a simulator. Second, through participatory listening walks I show how AV testing in society raises significant challenges for local communities in the absence of demonstrable benefits in the present. I conclude that the testbed in question does not currently enable the exploration of societal mobility futures, but fieldwork in this environment can help us understand what this would take.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"20 2","pages":"Pages 271-291"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141388131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue instead that the roles of automation in people’s everyday lives with EVs in the present and possible futures are shaped by the particularities of life itself, and the places and localities in which it is experienced. Our research shows that how people live with automation is likely to pivot on everyday values of care and safety, and implies a future life where people remain in control of automated features, rather than signing up for fully automated systems. To understand the future of EV automation therefore, we must look to how people navigate such values and how they apply everyday creativity and innovation in possible, future contingent circumstances.

While the scholarship on scalability has recently focused on Big Tech, I center my analysis on two older and less public-facing industries—electricity service and maritime logistics—both of which have been scalability’s pioneers and innovators from the 20<sup>th</sup> century onwards. Today, like many others, both industries look to automation to take scale to greater heights, as can be noted in the examples of energy aggregator technologies and automated guided vehicles used in unloading containers. For contemporary scaling industries, automation appears as a suitable ‘scalar device’ (Ribes <span><span>2014</span></span>) especially where obstacles to the smooth mobility of goods, services, and people are perceived to occur due to human limitations in cognition and action.
