Advanced Urban GeographyLecture 0 Positioning and instruction – Bas Spierings
• content and positioning
↪ trends
↪ shift from place-based towards a person-based society
↪ increased physical and virtual mobility
↪ movement, activities, and interactions
↪ activity fragmentation; activities fragmented in smaller pieces (different times etc.),
facilitated by ICT (e.g. college online)
↪ spaces and spheres
↪ multiplex city; the urban as the co-presence of multiple spaces, multiple times and
multiple webs of relations.
↪ concepts, theories and research
↪ connections and flows; how things are connected, flows in and through the city
↪ post-structuralism; positioned against the structural. Meaning and action must be set in a
context of relations, they cannot be seen as simply manifestations of underlying structures
↪ conceptual approaches (e.g. time geography, embodied experience approach)

,Lecture 1 Time geography and the Mobility turn - Dick Ettema
• place based; context matters, context influences people
↪ neighbourhood effects; mechanisms. Neighbourhood where people live has great effects on them
↪ social interactive; social networks, social cohesion
↪ environmental; exposure to crime, physical surrounding
↪ geographical; accessibility of jobs, poor facilities
↪ institutional; stigmatization, local institutional resources
↪ limitations of place based contextual approaches (Kwan 2013)
↪ approach ignores daily (and residential) movement → context does not equal current
residential environment, it is wider (not only about where you live now, but also where you
lived before)
↪ solution; look wider → time geography
↪ limited to numbers, percentages, distances, travel times
↪ solution; mobility turn/mobilities
↪ social role of mobility (social capital), social practices, networks, relations,
flows, circulation
• Hägerstrand; time geography; individuals follow path through space and time (Neutens, Schwanen,
Witlox 2010)
↪ constraints that limit daily activities
↪ capacity constraints (e.g. travel speed, time use, sleep/eat)
↪ coupling constraints (e.g. work, household)
↪ authority constraints (e.g. opening hours)
↪ fixed activities serve as anchors
↪ implications for segregation (how segregated are societies?)
↪ segregation based on residential locations vs
↪ segregation based on daily activity patterns
↪ point based + line based
↪ implications for accessibility
↪ daily potential path area (DPPA); accessibility defined by daily activities
• mobilities
↪ new mobilities paradigm; looking at cities in dynamic sense
↪ social role of mobility (institutions and practices)
↪ how do people practice mobility and how does mobility shape societies
↪ multiple modes (corporeal travel, objects (logistics), virtual (online college),
communication)
↪ relationship with infrastructure
↪ impact of infrastructure on cities
↪ social practices, unintended consequences across domains
↪ mix of research modes
↪ the role of networks
↪ network capital for maintaining contacts
↪ culture, habitus, taste
↪ travel options, practices
↪ walking practices
↪ mediated walking; walking is not just walking → interaction with environment
↪ walking practices; positioning, communication, task allocation

, • conclusion; context matters
↪ but it may range from place to footloose networks (place-based, time-geography, mobilities)
↪ context differ (influencing life outcomes)
↪ depending on where you live and network capital
