Ger Duijzings is Professor of Social Anthropology at the Universität Regensburg. He has done extensive research on the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and is currently studying urban transformations in post-socialist cities. His publications include Global Villages: Rural and Urban Transformations in Contemporary Bulgaria (Anthem, 2013) and, along with Ben Campkin, the co-edited volume Engaged Urbanism: Cities and Methodologies (I.B. Tauris, 2016).

“One of the greatest merits of this book is its inspiring and productive combination of different scientific fields—critical mobility studies, urbanism, postsocialist research. The result, along with other interesting findings, is an important and innovative vision of postsocialism.” • Technology and Culture“When, some fifteen years ago, I started writing about automobility in socialist societies, little could I have imagined that the postsocialist countries of Europe would inspire a profusion of young scholars to examine their specific mobilities. If Cars Could Walk conveys all the excitement and even frisson of a pioneering venture.” • Lewis H. Siegelbaum, Michigan State University“This book is an important addition to urban mobility studies and it surely will enrich our understanding of the transformations of street connectivity in the countries of Eastern Europe.” • Elena Trubina, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
