Contested mobilities and the role of conflict in making sustainable cities

Authors: Malene Freudendal-Pedersen, Sven Kesselring

In: Conflicts in urban future-making: Governance, institutions, and transformative change, Editors: Monika Grubbauer, Alessandra Manganelli, Louis Volont

Cities are produced by what flows through them. Mobilities make cities vibrant and nourish them; they are part of reconfiguring urban meanings, identities, and everyday cultures. Infrastructures have thus become political and reflexive reference points for conflicting discourses. Freudendal-Pedersen and Kesselring discuss these aspects in relation to the contested field of cities, mobilities, and climate change, and to the mobility transition in Baden-Württemberg, a powerhouse for mobilities futures in Germany.
