Abstract: Mongolia’s axial development strategy provides an opportunity to consider the intended and unintended effects of introducing paved roads into regions where none exist. This article analyzes data from a 125-person survey, 128 semi-structured interviews, and participant observation in sites proximate to and distant from new paved roads in six counties within three Mongolian provinces. We consider how roads engender connectivity and distantiation simultaneously in the re-shaping of Mongolia’s socio-economic geographies and rearranging of mundane spaces of everyday life.
