Abstract
AbstractIn the broader context of the relationship between transport and urban development, this chapter discusses the impact that shared mobility services may have on the spatial and functional organisation of cities. In the first section, we review the relationship between transport and urban development in an historical perspective, with a view to the implications that the diverse mobility systems can have on space and the environment. We then examine the cultural and technological drivers for the spreading of shared mobility in contemporary cities, as well as the response these services can provide to different mobility needs in urban areas. In the concluding section, we discuss in what circumstances shared mobility can be part of a policy-making process to promote a balanced urban development, making cities more inclusive and sustainable.KeywordsShared mobility Urban developmentSpaceSustainabilityPlanning
