Abstract
John Urry’s legacy is rich and reaches beyond the sociology of mobility. Th is
article follows up on Urry’s interest in exploring possible mobile futures by
connecting the fi eld of mobilities research to design. “Mobilities design” has
emerged as a subbranch of mobilities research during the last decade. By looking
into the critical-creative ways in which designers explore potential futures,
mobilities research may indeed learn fruitful lessons of future imagination.
Specifi cally, the article illustrates how such “designerly ways of thinking” add
new insight when exploring “what the future is,” which Urry set out to do as the
last thing of his career.
