| description | This chapter proposes that conceptions of transport and mobility justice as developed in academic literature need to be developed further if they are to capture the spatiotemporal complexity of what justice is and means in the context of everyday urban mobility. It argues that there is a need to bring in more relational, multi-scalar and emergent perspectives on mobility justice. Balancing and integrating particularity and generality with things at intermediate scales constitutes a more holistic and ultimately just approach to mobility justice. The value of community initiatives focused on walking and cycling infrastructure lie less in what they accomplish infrastructurally in an absolute sense, and more in what they represent as a 'living', dynamic, processual and multi-scalar example of collaboration, connection, sensitivity and experimentation in the interest of achieving a just society. The chapter also proposes that conceptual resources for advancing such perspectives can be found in both Western and Eastern philosophies. |
