Abstract

The article discusses spatial and social cohesion in relation to what MaaS promises. It starts from general principles based on Aristotle in which citizens and the polis aim at the common good -eυδαιμονία- which is attainable along with the highest virtue, justice, guiding both individual and collective actions. Starting from spatial elements of collective urban life as the road and the square it is argued that for social cohesion common aims are necessary. Regarding digital information, which is crucial today and concerns MaaS directly, the important issue is whether the dissemination of information is guided or not by market criteria. It is concluded that MaaS can function properly only if it supplements mass transportation media and only thus can contribute to social and spatial cohesion.
