Mobility...
...a significant source of un-sustainability
> spatial/infrastructural development
> traffic congestion
> mobility behaviours
...or a potential key towards more sustainable cities?

Mobility is a significant everyday life practice, which offers a useful lens for observing issues challenging the sustainability of cities.
Important issues:
> ICT as means to improve the efficiency of cities
> inhabitants as passive consumers rather than active citizens
![Page 4: J . Pollock, Autumn Rhythm, 1950](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568167e4550346895ddd4db0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The city is more than just efficient services – it is also made of spatial and emotional experiences of the urban environment.
City decision-makers also need to consider:
> data not passively generated by technological devices
> data that cannot be counted and mathematically analysed
...data concerning inhabitants’ experiences of the city

An important gap emerges in the governance of city development that challenges the city’s sustainability.
> lack of data on inhabitants’ experiences
> lack of appropriate mechanisms for meaningful engagement
Urban Spacebook aims to address this gap.

> ongoing and proactive participation that can enhance current engagement processes
> practical access to experiential, abstract data that can enhance current quantitative data
Urban Spacebook has the potential to address the gap in the governance of city development.

Beyond its prototype stage, the platform could foster a new form of urban governance.
> engagement centred on positive, everyday aspects of the city > a space for conversations and collaboration
> current and potential/future mobilities as ‘conversation starter’
> qualitative aspects of GPS technology

Not a silver bullet!
> ‘provoking’ engagement in a real situation
> eliciting experiential data embedded in everyday routine
> ‘Big Brother’ surveillance and digital divide
> mobility-based inequalities

We need – more urgently than architectural utopias, ingenious traffic disposal systems, or ecological programmes – to comprehend the nature of citizenship, to make serious imaginative assessment of that special relationship between the self and the city; its unique plasticity, its privacy and freedom.
