Reviews for Mobility, Sociability and Wellbeing of Urban Living
“This edited book is a worthwhile addition to the well-being literature and is written in a very accessible form. It provides important insights into the role that geography and spatial scale play in understanding the interplay of mobility, sociability and well-being in our complex urban worlds.” (Jonathan Corcoran, Urban Studies, Vol. 55 (9), 2018)
