Recent scholarship on eviction has provided new insights on the uneven pattern and disparate consequences of everyday residential displacement through state action. In addition to bringing renewed attention to exploitation and racism in housing markets, this emerging field has also exposed areas of contention around the spatialization of displacement—especially with regard to the process of gentrification. Thus, while some researchers have connected the peripheralization of evicted households to demographic shifts in gentrifying central urban neighborhoods, others have provided contrary evidence showing that eviction is a concentrated, repetitive phenomenon that occurs in areas characterized more by the persistence of precarity and segregation rather than the revalorization of land markets. Based on findings from research on displacement in three urban locations, I argue that “displacements are multiple” involving both the change of people in space as well as the transformation of space around people.

Discussion of some recent research on mobility, i.e., the movement of people, that is relevant for researchers interested in transportation as well as human health, where the movement of individuals has the capacity to influence and impact different health outcomes. With the ubiquity of location-aware mobile devices, new opportunities exist to capture travel activity patterns as they dynamically evolve and change, providing key insights for how people move, and providing an opportunity for us to learn about the behaviors of individuals in different geographic contexts. Examples based on analyzing collective movements of vehicles on roads from location-based app data and massive numbers of travel trajectories to more local scale mobility arising from the daily travel of individuals based on different occupations will be presented and the different analytic approaches – from big geospatial data analytics to simulation–will be discussed.
