Propositions:
1. Mobility inequalities are socio-culturally and spatially constructed (this dissertation, Section four) 2. Contributing factors to mobility inequality include intrinsic factors (i.e. individual attributes) and
extrinsic factors (i.e. spatial and socio-cultural constructs). The interplay of these factors can improve or restrain mobility of certain socio-economic groups (this dissertation, Section two).
3. If mobility is a means to achieve accessibility to key functions, then transport and land use policies (re)produce mobility inequalities; the impacts of which can span across generations and levels of scale are difficult to reverse, and take a long-time to fix (this dissertation, Section three)
4. Planning for all can turn out to be planning for no one, unless consideration is given to the most vulnerable groups within society (this dissertation, Section two and Section four).
5. Socio-cultural values of walking as a transport mode for those with low income can negate its spatial potential to contribute to accessibility (this dissertation, Section four).
6. Women are more likely to report negative perceptions of safety as compared to men while walking (this dissertation, Section four).
7. A combination of mixed methods of spatial and visual analyses, interviews, and on-street surveys, multiple data sources, and interdisciplinary perspectives are helpful to gain sectoral and multi-scalar understandings of mobility inequality (this dissertation)
8. As a female researcher investigating mobility inequality in the context of developing economic regions, certain first-hand experiences of inequalities cannot be avoided.
9. Everybody is somebody. Even a nobody. (Rafiki, The Lion King)
10. Do they then not travel through the Earth, so that their minds gain wisdom and their ears thus learn to hear? For surely it is not the eyes that are blind, but blind are the minds which are in the foremost. (Quran 22:46)
