mobilities
Abilities to move
Mobilities is the plural of mobility, referring to multiple types or instances of the ability to move.
The word often appears in academic and policy contexts discussing different dimensions of movement: social mobilities (movement between economic classes), geographic mobilities (migration patterns), or physical mobilities (bodily movement capabilities).
The study examined labor mobilities across European borders.
Urban planners must consider diverse mobilities—pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, wheelchair users.
