Shifting Mobility: Part 1: Transforming Planning and Design for New Human Mobility Code

Old ideologies of city building and expensive and complex automobility solutions are in freefall due to resource depletion, environmental changes, lifestyle changes, demographic and digital adaptation. This book provides new perspectives through the process of ideological disassociation and concepts of human mobility code, which states that human mobility is an essential component of our creativity and comes from our unconscious desire to become a part of a community. It introduces an innovative mobility planning process and reinvention of multimodal mobility approaches based on new mobility code, which can reinforce low-carbon mobility options while addressing social equity, environmental, and health benefits.

In the face of resource depletion, environmental changes, lifestyle changes, demographic shifts, and digital adaptation, old ideologies of city building and expensive and complex automobility solutions are in decline. These transformations are causing significant friction between the old and new paradigms. This book offers fresh perspectives through the process of ideological disassociation and concepts of human mobility code. The fundamental premise of the book is that human mobility is an essential component of our creativity, stemming from our unconscious desire to become part of a community. Several new concepts introduced in the book revolve around the groundbreaking discovery of human mobility code and its implications for urban mobility boundary systems. Through comprehensive research findings, it is proven that each individual develops a unique mobility footprint, becoming an integral part of our mobility identity. Beyond individual characteristics, human beings develop collective mobility codes through interactions with the third space, which encompasses the fundamentals of city planning and the design process. Readers are introduced to an innovative mobility planning process and the reinvention of multimodal mobility approaches based on the new mobility code. This involves formulating new concepts, practical solutions, and implementation techniques, tools, policies, and processes to reinforce low-carbon mobility options while addressing social equity, environmental, and health benefits. Ultimately, the book equips us with knowledge to prevent the disaster of full technological enlightenment against our natural human mobility code.
