Abstract

Accessibility is a core concept in human geography when it comes to geographical mobility. And yet residential mobility is never addressed in terms of geographical accessibility! Choices, preferences, and decision-making processes are generally at the heart of descriptive and explanatory models of residential mobility. At best, geographical accessibility is only considered to be an issue for residential mobility when it relates either to anticipation of daily mobility (access to school, work, shops, etc.) when moving home, or to determining the price of housing when buying or selling a property.
