Urban rhythms: mobilities, space and interaction in the contemporary city

The publication of a Sociological Review Monograph on urban issues and processes is timely, both sociologically and politically. With the global recession of 2008 placing cities near the top of policy-making agendas, urban environments came to represent an ideal medium through which to explore the conjunction
