Sarah Moser, Associate Professor of Geography, McGill University:
“Brail and Donald have assembled an interdisciplinary set of essays that make an important and timely contribution towards understanding how recent technologies, infectious disease, and climate change are shaping life in Canadian cities. This collection is a must-read for scholars in geography, urban studies, planning, and social justice, as well as for activists and policy makers who are concerned about the challenges we collectively face in making mobility more equitable and sustainable.”

Robyn M. Dowling, Dean of the School of Architecture, Design, and Planning, University of Sydney:
“In bringing together the multiple disruptions that have shaped urban mobility over past decades, Urban Mobility insightfully outlines how digital and green transitions not only influence how people and goods will move around cities but also shape urban form, urban economies, and the prospects for equitable cities. And it is a timely reminder of how much urban scholars and policy makers can learn from Canadian cities and Canadian research.”
