Abstract: Abstract Spatial mobility has become one of the characteristic features of a modern economy. The so-called ‘homo mobilis’ has become a dominant actor whose ambition seems to be to increase his or her action space at ever increasing speeds. Time and space preferences appear to be two closely interwoven phenomena which determine the ongoing rise in spatial interactions. Europe is offering an illustrative example of this world-wide trend.
