Mobility
Consumption generates mobility and vice versa. "Mobility" is a theme at Centre for consumption research that focuses on the relationship between cities, mobility/logistics and consumption patterns. A central question is how a better understanding of these can generate knowledge about sustainable urban living.
The theme of mobility started in 2010 in an interdisciplinary collaboration between the University of Gothenburg and Université de Toulouse II in France, where researchers developed common starting points for studies of consumption logistics under the broader theme of mobility.
Sociocultural dimensions affect everyday consumption logistics and constitute important analytical perspectives in understanding how and why mobility and consumption patterns look like they do today. And how we might be able to change them in the future.

The consumption logistics of the future is a "case study" in itself in the theme of mobility and serves as a sounding board for our researchers to discuss research results with representatives of industry, municipalities and politics, thus deepening the relationship between scientific research and practitioners in the field.
