Alternative (Im)Mobilities 1st Edition

Bold new thinking about how people, goods and ideas move transforms the way we plan cities and societies. Alternative (Im)Mobilities, 1st Edition by Maria Alice de Faria Nogueira offers a sharp, timely exploration of mobility beyond conventional transport paradigms—perfect for urban planners, mobility scholars, policymakers and engaged readers across Brazil, Latin America and the global south.

Nogueira blends rigorous research with vivid case studies to reveal how social, economic and political forces shape who moves, who stays, and why. Drawing on interdisciplinary methods, the book examines everyday practices, informal transport networks, gendered and spatial inequalities, and the environmental stakes of mobility choices. Readers gain clear frameworks for understanding mobility as a layered social process, not just an engineering problem.

Practical and thought-provoking, this volume equips professionals and students with tools to design more just and resilient transport policies. Expect concrete policy implications, comparative perspectives rooted in Brazilian and Latin American urban contexts, and accessible discussions that bridge theory and practice. The result is a resource that informs transit planning, community-led mobility initiatives, and academic courses in urban studies, geography and public policy.

For anyone committed to sustainable, inclusive cities, Alternative (Im)Mobilities is essential reading.
