Introduction

Tobias Kuttler and Massimo Moraglio

A chapter in Re-thinking Mobility Poverty. Understanding Users' Geographies, Backgrounds and Aptitudes, 2020, pp 1-19 from ZBW - Leibniz Information Centre for Economics

Abstract: In this Introduction, the editors of the volume present its structure and address the theoretical background to the book. After defining the role of mobility in contemporary societies, this Introduction outlines the relationship between transport poverty and social exclusion. The authors demand a better definition and terminology of the subject, claiming that “mobility” poverty addresses the concepts better and in a sounder way. Finally, the Introduction calls for a closer cooperation between the different actors, with a stronger focus on the users of transport.
