ABSTRACT

The aim of this chapter is to critically examine, first, the effects of the ongoing transformation of public spaces to accommodate mobile workers’ needs, and, second, mobile workers’ moral willingness and capability towards the Other. It is suggested that transformations of cities and the rising presence of mobile workers at public spaces are a potential threat to civic activity and citizenship acts. Let me also start this chapter revealing that my intention is to be provocative, somewhat speculative and intellectually curious.
