- - - - seven key areas
        
        First, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and other technologies could be used to model and predict accessibility and mobility demands.
        Second, the challenges of inadequate transport provision in both rural and urban environments need to be more fully
        understood within the context of extant policies and future planning. Transportation geographers have much to offer planners and policymakers at the national and supranational scales by demonstrating empirically where and how transportation infrastructure can most productively beneft people and places
        Fifth, Latin Americanist geographers with skills in GIS analysis and statistical methodologies could help improve accessibility and mobility across multiple scales by researching theoretically and empirically how transport networks might be integrated more
        optimally.
        Sixth, researchers could examine local, regional, and national
        multi-modal strategies to reveal limitations in existing networks and to provide guidance to policy makers and planners considering new networks.
        we should know more about how transportation contributes to, and enhances, these spatial relationships.
- - - - movement: the fact of physical movemen to getting from one place to another: -So understanding physical movement is one aspect of mobility. But this says next to nothing about what these mobilities are made to mean or how they are practised
      - representation: the representations of movement that give it shared meaning; How is mobility discursively constituted? What narratives
        have been constructed about mobility? How are mobilities represented? Mobility as liberty, mobility as progress.
      - practice: the experienced and embodied practice of movement.: Human mobility is practised mobility that is enacted and experienced through the body. it is at the level of the body that human mobility is produced, reproduced, and, occasionally, transformed How is mobility embodied? How comfortable is it? Is it forced or free?
      - break mobility down: six aspects serve to differentiate people and things into hierarchies of mobility
        
        First why does a person or thing move? An object has to have a force applied to it before it can move.
        -Secondöhow fast does a person or thing move? Velocity is a valuable resource and the subject of considerable cultural investment- hierarchies of mobility, exclusivity
        -Third in what rhythm does a person or thing move? Rhythm is an important component of mobility at many different scales
        -Fourth: What route does it take? Mobility is channeled. It moves along routes and conduits often provided by conduits in space.
        -Fifthöhow does it feel? Human mobility, like place, surely has the notion of experience at its centre.
        Sixthöwhen and how does it stop? Or to put it another wayöwhat kind of friction does the mobility experience? Is stopping a choice or is it forced?
      - mobilities contellation: awareness of the mobilities of the past. We cannot understand new mobilities, then, without understanding old mobilities. Elements of the past exist in the present just as elements of the future surround us.
        The second caveat is that, in addition to being aware of continuities with the past that make contemporary mobilities intelligible, we need to keep notions of fixity, stasis, and immobility in mind. As proponents of the mobility turn have shown, mobilities need moorings (Hannam et al, 2006).
