The Role of Sharing Mobility in Contemporary Cities. Legal, Social and Environmental Issues
2020
The emergence of sharing mobility is having a profound impact on urban landscapes. In fact, it is deeply affecting the traditional organization of local services by calling into question how urban transportation is planned, and by redesigning city spaces. Further, by connecting people to shared assets, services or both, sharing mobility is poised to facilitate the more efficient use of underutilized resources, becoming a powerful tool for economic growth and social inclusion, while also contributing to sustainability. That being said, the economic, social and spatial impacts of sharing mobility have not been sufficiently investigated, and so far, the evidence is mixed. From a normative stan…
Urban Mobility, Social Inclusion and Participation: A Qualitative Study in Palermo, Italy
2020
The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the connection between social inclusion and urban mobility, focusing on the role of sharing mobility and to what extent it might be a favourable tool for social inclusion, particularly for disadvantaged groups such as migrants. To our knowledge, whilst the literature has already examined the associations between migrants’ social inclusion and mobility, the role of sharing mobility in this process has not yet been widely analysed, especially in the Italian context. Hence, the present chapter addresses this knowledge gap. The rest of the chapter is organised as follows. First, we describe the relationships between mobility and social exclusion, then w…

Verso una disciplina giuridica della sharing mobility nell’Unione europea
2020
L’articolo propone un’analisi delle principali questioni relative alla regolamentazione dei servizi di sharing (o shared) mobility. Attraverso una disamina dei tratti peculiari dei diversi modelli di organizzazione economica per l’offerta di servizi di mobilità condivisa, si ricostruiscono i principali nodi problematici connessi tanto alla definizione di regole di governo del mercato dei nuovi servizi di mobilità, quanto all’esigenza di garantire una mobilità che sia anche veicolo di inclusione sociale e di sostenibilità ambientale. Nel farlo, l’articolo offre una riflessione critica sulle opposte polarità che caratterizzano il dibattito corrente in tema di sharing mobility: per un verso, l…
Mobilità condivisa e processi di sviluppo sostenibile nelle città: le questioni aperte e gli spazi per le politiche pubbliche
2020
L’articolo compie un percorso esplorativo, facendo ricorso soprattutto alla letteratura esistente, sui potenziali effetti dei sistemi di mobilità condivisa sullo sviluppo e l’organizzazione delle città. La prima sezione ripercorre in una prospettiva storica le forme di interazione tra esigenze di mobilità e modelli di urbanizzazione, analizzandone i presupposti socio-economici e gli effetti dal punto di vista ambientale. Successivamente vengono esaminate le condizioni culturali e tecnologiche che hanno consentito la diffusione della sharing mobility nelle città occidentali, analizzandone in chiave critica le relazioni con lo spazio urbano. Nell’ultimo paragrafo ci si interroga sulle forme d…
PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN THE ERA OF AUTOMATISATION AND SHARING ECONOMY
2019
Background. Over half of the world's population lives in urbanized areas, cities emit over 75 % of global greenhouse gases [1]. One of the sources of pollution is transport. Therefore, striving for the development of sustainable transport systems in cities is crucial. Observing global trends in mobility allows noting the development of economy, automation and electrification of the automobile. These tendencies seem to have enormous potential to improve the functioning of transport systems and to maximize economic and environmental effects. Therefore, the aim of this article is to identify the benefits of using low-carbon autonomous vehicles, to spread the sharing mobility and to identify po…
Quali regole per la sharing mobility in Europa. Un’introduzione
2020
All over Europe urban mobility services are subject to specialized regulatory regimes. In the last decade, new technologies have upended the sector, making possible new ways of organizing the industry. Platforms like Uber and Lyft have been among the first to seize these possibilities. However, they have often done so without regard for national and local laws. In response to these changes many EU jurisdictions have amended their sectoral regulations, revisiting issues such as licensing, background checks and insurance. The result has been a vast landscape of legal, commercial, and political conflict where local administrators, private operators and citizens are obliged to act within a norm…

Governare la mobilità condivisa nella città con- temporanea: limiti e possibilità per le politiche pubbliche
2023
Il saggio si propone di analizzare alcune conseguenze che la diffusione della mobilità condivisa comporta nella città contemporanea, identificando alcuni nodi per le politiche pubbliche che andrebbero poste in agenda dai policy makers nazionali e locali. Il testo in primis descrive le condizioni che hanno consentito la diffusione della sharing mobility nelle città occidentali, sottolineandone il peculiare rapporto che tali servizi instaurano con l’ambiente costruito rispetto ai sistemi di tra- sporto convenzionali. Successivamente viene offerta una sintetica descrizione dello stato dell’arte della mobilità condivisa nel nostro paese, nel più ampio contesto del cambiamento delle città sul pi…
Urban mobility and social inclusion of migrant people: The role of sharing mobility. A qualitative study
2020
The relationships between urban mobility and the process of social inclusion/exclusion have been highlighted by several scholars (i.e., LUCAS 2012; RICCI 2016). The possibility to move freely to reach in an easy and accessible way the destinations required to satisfy daily needs is a key factor linked to well-being of citizens, as well as to their possibility to actively participate in the life of their community. From this perspective, shortfalls in the urban transport system may have negative effects on the social inclusion of categories at risk of social marginalization (i.e., people living in the suburbs, migrant people). The current paper is aimed at deepening the understanding of thes…
