ABSTRACT
The focus in this book has been on the relationships between mobilities and health, relationships that can be health-promoting but also not conducive to good health and well-being. As I have suggested, at times some of these mobilities have negative consequences for those who do not move; for example, those living near busy major airports, or along heavily trafficked streets, or those exploited by tourists. The immobile live in places that are impacted by the activities of the mobile. But the mobile too inhabit places that may affect their health and well-being, either positively or negatively. Places will always be settings that have significant contextual effects on health, well-being, and disease, and geographers, epidemiologists and other (social) scientists will continue to describe, and explain, these relationships. Mobilities and networks matter, but so too do places.
