The Morality of Urban Mobility

Reviews / Votes

The Morality of Urban Mobility can help, not only to acknowledge how our lives and movement are determined by our built environment but by opening us to a richer, more connected political
life in the city. * Essays in Philosophy * In discussing the morality of urban mobility, this book confronts a question that is otherwise as inescapable as it is difficult. For beyond the more obvious technological and logistical concerns, urban mobility indeed is fundamentally and ultimately a question of justice. Who gets to move within the city? And how? How can we develop a culture, indeed the moral basis, for ensuring that infrastructures, institutions, policies, as well as technologies all work together in granting everyone, including non-humans, a place to dwell and flourish in the city? Shane Epting helps us face these questions rigorously, courageously, and honestly. -- Remmon E. Barbaza, associate professor of philosophy, Ateneo de Manila University
