"In Mobile Technologies of the City, Mimi Sheller and John Urry bring together a carefully selected group of innovative case studies that trace the emergence both of the new socio-technical practices of the city and of a new theoretical paradigm for mobilities research. The research based in Vienna, Liverpool, Bristol, London, Tokyo, Paris, Los Angeles and Hong Kong ranges across media including guidebooks, web sites, train schedules wireless computing cinema, mobile phones and mobile gaming. It encompasses infrastructures such as road and rail systems, airline network and hubs, internet routers and wireless hot spots, and focuses on urban sites including streets, train platforms, bus stops, airports, internet cafes, park benches, parking garages and cars."
"Mobile Technologies of the City contributes new theoretical perspectives on temporality, security and systematization. It brings together complexity theory actor network theory and social studies of technology generating a new approach to the mobility systems that constitute contemporary cities."--Jacket.
