Mobility is a means of achieving social goals: it is not a goal in itself. Social evolution is generating a demand for greater mobility and thus the solution of mobility problems may be found either in further changes in social need or in new ways of meeting that need.
Currently, attempts to meet the demand for mobility are tending to increase the economic, social and physical distances between the affluent and the deprived. Additionally, forecasting methods for future mobility situations are not sufficiently sensitive to social factors likely to be significant.
The situation is further aggravated by existing institutional systems failing to proportionately represent different social values, and failing to equitably distribute social costs and benefits.
