Assessing the extent to which the embodied practices of transport affect an individual's perspective on mobility futures.

汽车的未来是当今城市利益相关者面临的最大挑战之一。围绕着不起眼的汽车，不断的进步正在发生，改变着我们与之互动并将其概念化的方式。虽然人们对未来移动性的设想方式进行了大量研究，但这些现存的文献可以说过于关注富裕的、目前拥有私人汽车的人，随后的分析反映了这种狭隘的观点。鉴于涉及汽车的具体实践的文献数量虽少，但意义重大，因此需要对人们乘坐其他交通工具的旅行类型进行更多的研究，特别是公共交通工具，如公共汽车和火车。本研究项目旨在通过人种学方法解决这两个缺点，发展移动的人种学领域，以解决不同世代如何在城市中移动，以及这将如何影响他们对移动未来的理解和看法。

The future of automobility is one of the biggest challenges facing today's urban stakeholders. Continualadvances are occurring around the humble automobile, changing the way in which we interact with andconceptualise it. While much research has been conducted on the ways in which people envisagemobility futures, this extant literature arguably focuses its attention too heavily on affluent, currentowners of private cars, with subsequent analysis reflecting this narrow perspective. Given the small butsignificant body of literature on the embodied practices involving cars, more research is needed on thetypes of journeys people make on other forms of transport, particularly public transport such as busesand trains. This research project will aim to address both these shortcomings through an ethnographicapproach, developing the fields of mobile ethnography to address how different generations move aboutin cities, and how this will affect their understandings and opinions of mobility futures.
