ABSTRACT
The chapter examines the relationship between transport networks, communication facilities, and multilocational lifestyles, stressing how these three aspects together are forming a new sociotechnical mixture, while acknowledging historical precedents, which thus requires a different theoretical approach to investigate questions of mobility. It focuses on role of new technological regimes in spreading multilocation and hypermobility namely, questioning multilocation as a new phenomenon. A better way to assess the phenomenon is to consider the impressive increase in transport performed-as an average-by so-called western-world inhabitant, which can give us a rough but powerful estimation of a society on the move, including multilocation performances. Multilocation has a hidden history, and broader topic remains to be properly investigated. The chapter discusses multilocation as an 'extreme' form of migration pendulaires, to use Meissoner's words. Considering multilocation participants extensive use of transport facilities, however, dwelling 'in-between' heavily affects transport systems, energy consumption, and infrastructures; it also influences real estate markets, welfare requests, and especially labor markets.
