“…However, MTS is obviously not an exclusively qualitative field. Along with qualitative authors -such as Lynch (1960), Pred (1981), Bauman (2007), Ascher (2003), Hagerstrand (1970), and McLuhan (1995) -also professionals from quantitative areas -such as transport planners, civil engineers, economists, mathematicians, and others -have been engaged in the study of mobility for a long time (e.g. Folger, 1953;Hansen, 1959;Isbell, 1944;Stouffer, 1940).…”

To understand the complex meanings of mobility and to engage in transport planning and management processes a variety of disciplines, skills, and tools are potentially useful. Universities have a limited amount of time and resources to train future professionals though. This poses a problem: where the teaching priorities should be? By means of a web-survey this study has asked to academics based at a number of universities what are the disciplines, skills, and tools that -according to their personal viewpoints -are the most relevant for practitioners in the mobility and transport sector. The respondents generally support curricula that facilitate a holistic, non-specialised, understanding of mobility and transport issues.

“…Como planteara Pred (1981Pred ( , 2005, siguiendo la perspectiva de Hägerstrand (1982), los encuentros de unos individuos y otros ocurre en el contexto de proyectos más o menos institucionalizados que los acercan, los conectan o simplemente los colocan en cercanía física. Con este horizonte es posible identificar los lugares (con sus respectivos escenarios) que conforman la red topológica de una persona, y los proyectos institucionalizados que están presentes en cada escenario 10 .…”

ABSTRACTThe main question of this article is the following: how to study the spatial dimension of the city and urban life? Before that submit a case study, in these pages, develops a theoretical-methodological approach for dealing with large cities. The main objective is to offer a multidimensional and grounded perspective of the social construction of the city movement. The first part reviews the different aspects of the perspective of the city as a space movement. The second part analyzes the everyday practices and the spatial subjectivity of this conception of the city as a space movement. The third section, deals with the affections and bodily of the city movement. Then comes the situational perspective and topological networks as ways of apprehending dense urban fragments that integrate the issues raised in the previous paragraphs. To close with a few final thoughts that highlight both the potential of such an approach and its limitations keywords: subject, urban life, practices, subjectivities, urban RESUMENLa pregunta principal de este artículo es la siguiente: ¿cómo estudiar la dimensión espacial de la ciudad y la vida urbana? Antes que presentar un estudio de caso, en estas páginas, se desarrolla un planteamiento teórico-metodológico para abordar el caso de las grandes ciudades. El objetivo principal es ofrecer una aproximación multidimensional y aterrizada de la construcción social de la ciudad movimiento. La primera parte revisa los diferentes aspectos de la perspectiva de la ciudad como espacio movimiento. La segunda parte analiza la componente de las prácticas y la subjetividad espacial integrada en esta concepción de la ciudad como espacio movimiento. El tercer apartado aborda las afectividades y la corporeidad de la ciudad movimiento. Posteriormente, se presenta la perspectiva situacional y las redes topológicas como formas de aprehender fragmentos densos de lo urbano que integren lo planteado en los apartados previos.

“…Whilst this finding is in many ways not surprising, it is an important one because of the wider neglect of postgraduate education in extant accounts of the formation and reproduction of financial centre specific working practices. In particular, to use the language outlined in the theoretical discussion of practice above, it might be said that postgraduate education, as part of the life path of new recruits, helps create the 'sediments' (Pred, 1981;Røpke, 2009) which predispose individuals to become recruited to the established practices of the City. Moreover, in the remainder of the paper, we argue that the role of postgraduate education in producing these sediments needs further analysis because they are shaped by a co-constitutive relationship between education and the City specific institutional context; a finding that has important implications for understanding of the role of education in contributing to the continued variegation within the international financial system of both institutions and practice.…”

“…Of particular importance for our interest here in institutions-education-practice linkages, studies have shown that the places and spaces in which individuals dwell and learn are pivotal in determining whether an individual is recruited to perform a practice. By drawing on the work of Pred (1981) on life paths and projects, it has been argued that:…”

In this paper, we argue that postgraduate education forms an important, but hitherto neglected, element in the distinctive institutional landscape of the City of London. In particular, and drawing on research into early career financial and legal elites in the City, we show how postgraduate education tailored to the demands of employers within London plays an important role in indoctrinating early career elites into situated, City-specific working practices, and, in so doing, helps to sustain the City's cultures and norms of financial practice. Specifying the role of postgraduate education in reproducing these situated City practices is significant because, although geographical variegation in working practices between international financial centres has been widely reported, less attention has been paid to how such institutionally embedded differences are created and sustained. By identifying education as one mechanism of creation and sustenance, our analysis enhances understanding of how the institutional landscapes that underlie financial centres might be maintained or when necessary challenged; the latter being significant in relation to attempts to reform practices and cultures in international financial centres in the wake of the 2007-8 crisis.
