Summary

The movement of people, goods, capital and information is a central aspect of living in the inter-connected, globalized late-modern world. Although this broader view of mobility is recognized, this book focuses mainly on migration or the movement of people. It examines multiple dwelling as a societal response to the major influences of increased mobility and amenity tourism. The book also considers the modern-day meaning of multiple dwelling, how it affects personal identity and the meaning of "home" and its impacts on host communities and landscapes.
