Abstract [en]

Cities are increasingly seen as people’s habitat. Citizen tend to regard urban life not only as a convenient way of finding a job or acquiring income, but also as a modus vivendi to enjoy a great variety of urban amenities (culture, friendship, entertainment, urban ‘ambiance’, etc.). Against this background, we observe a rapid rise in urban [un]happiness studies in relation to liveability and quality of life in cities. The present chapter focuses on urban mobility as a source of urbanites’ happiness (or lack thereof). It addresses related key issues from empirical research literature, including a brief overview of urban ‘slow motion’. The study concludes with a summary and a prospective view of future urban challenges in the context of social wellbeing.
