Mobility

Mobility, in this context, refers to the movements and motions that occur within a society. This symposium shall look at particular sub-topics, namely migration, tourism, economies, transportation, as well as gentrification, property values, and real estate development; each of which are taking on new forms, due to the impacts of climate change.
