HUMAN INTERACTION AND SPATIAL MOBILITY: RETROSPECT AND PROSPECT. IN: THE AUTOMOBILE

The concept of mobility is examined as and expansion of moving people, information, and goods in geographic space. The train, the ship, the automobile, the airplane and the various types of telecommuications have, in a rather short period of time, changed the patterns of economic and social interaction locally as well as globally. Every aspect of mobility has been more or less reshaped by liberation from the immediate present which the new technologies for transportation and communication have provided.
