Mobility of Care and Urban Planning Study Guide
This guide explores the concept of 'mobility of care' in urban transportation, differentiating it from the typical commute. It covers the definition of care work, the phenomenon of trip chaining, and the disproportionate burden of care mobility on women and lower-income individuals. The guide also discusses how the presence of children impacts travel patterns and examines the various transportation modes used for caregiving. Finally, it delves into urban planning strategies, such as the 15-Minut
