ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses the social and cultural issues and aspects of mobility and of providing potential images or visions of the mobility. A society maintains itself as an ethical community by continually offering to people the very ethical conditions it wants them to be 'obligated' to reproduce. Governance can be applied in more ethical ways that involve many sectors of the community in developing a future that is more hospitable. John Urry has outlined potential post-car patterns of mobility indicated by several technical-economic, policy and social transformations that in their 'dynamic interdependence' might bring about new systems of mobility. Police in Paris use bicycles to facilitate mobility through the city. The need for speed and alternative masculinities are considered followed by different visions of mobility through planning, ideas of hospitality and campaign visions. An ethics of the road requires a new vision of the roads to current replace the vision of aggressive competition and combat with cooperation and shared responsibility.
