Book excerpt: In today’s consumer society, shopping is the kind of mundane and routine kind of mobility that we all engage in. Yet having a first child or growing old radically changes people’s logistical habits as consumers, what the authors of this book call consumer logistics. Exploring consumer mobility through the lens of life phase and age will deepen the understanding of hitherto under-researched aspects of the ageing process and of mobility, knowledge that is of vital importance for societies striving for sustainable mobility and sustainable cities.
