Abstract

Focused both on how commuting is transforming cities and on ‘how to think commuting differently’, in this eloquent and thoughtful book, David invites the reader to consider the power inherent in the question how itself – a power that enables radical open-endedness. Thus, David asks us to think about commuting and cities as transactional and transformational, quotidian and extraordinary, intimate and global. Even though Sydney, Australia, is the epicentre of David’s work, Transit Life is multiscalar and accounts for varied rhythms and times. Its approach to understanding is deeply empathic, and touches on people’s bodies, their homes, streets, rail-lines, cars, bus shelters, tramcars, offices and other sites, paths and nodes ... the list is exhaustive, never tiresome.
