ABSTRACT
This chapter explores inequality within the mobility turn. The analysis of the impact of mobility in the (re)production of spatial inequalities has only been marginally addressed. Despite the global reach of the 2007-onwards economic and financial crisis, there is a still largely unmapped, extremely heterogeneous landscape of local impacts and adjustment strategies. This chapter draws on a socioeconomic, institutional, and political snapshot of mobility in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area to assess the impacts of the aforementioned crisis and the subsequent adjustment dynamics of citizens, communities, and the State. The analysis portrays the deeply rooted political and institutional crisis underpinning Lisbon’s metropolitan territorial governance.
