Call for articles
Website "European City" (www.europeancity. cz) has issued a call for articles on "Motion in the City".
Motion and process modify the urban environment and provide fascinating scope for those interested in the field of urban studies. Both repeated and routine motion are important in understanding the functioning principles behind single urban localities and also whole metropolitan regions. Migration, commuting, financial flows and the
flux of ideas. All these motions are the beats of the city and in certain sense may be seen as the substance of the urban setting. Motion can be evaluated from the perspectives of different academic fields; many questions about the contemporary development of the city reveal themselves. How has urban motion changed over the last decades? What are the effects of technological innovation, in the field of
transport and the transfer of information, on the urban milieu? What is the progress of intra-urban, internal and international migration into cities? How do the different parts of a city differ in terms of the rhythms and everyday motions of its population?
