Resumo(s)
Scholars have argued that transitions to more sustainable and just mobilities require
moving beyond technocentrism to rethink the very meaning of mobility in cities,
communities, and societies. This paper demonstrates that such rethinking is inherently
political. In particular, we focus on recent theorisations of commoning practices
that have gained traction in geographic literatures. Drawing on our global
comparative research of low‐carbon mobility transitions, we argue that critical
mobilities scholars can rethink and expand the understanding of mobility through
engagement with commons–enclosure thinking. We present a new concept, “commoning
mobility,” a theorisation that both envisions and shapes practices that
develop fairer and greener mobilities and more inclusive, collaboratively governed
societies. Our analysis introduces three “logics” of mobility transition projects. First,
the paper discusses how a logic of scarcity has been a driver for mobility planning
as the scarcity of oil, finance, space, and time are invoked across the world as stimuli
for aspiring to greener, “smarter,” and cheaper mobilities. The paper then identifies
two responses to the logic of scarcity: the logics of austerity and the logics of commoning.
Austere mobilities are examined to problematise the distribution of responsibility
for emissions and ensuing injustices and exclusion in low‐carbon transitions.
The logics of commoning shows a potential to reassess mobility not only as an individual
freedom but also as a collective good, paving the way for fairer mobility transitions
and a collaborative tackling of sustainable mobility challenges.
