Abstract: The development of megaregions significantly reconfigures the lives of their residents, giving rise to mobile work and multilocal dwellings. Employing qualitative methods, this study examines how mobility and residential multilocality influence mobile workers’ well-being in China’s Greater Bay Area. Using the new mobilities paradigm, different well-being resources are found to mobilize in the workplace, at home and in transit spaces to manage personal well-being, with mobility and relationality as central mechanisms. This study aids in understanding the well-being creation and mobilization mechanisms in space-networks and invites reflections on regions caught between territory and network and megaregions as actual or imagined.
