In this exploration of urban mobility, we&#8217;ll take a closer look at why it&#8217;s important, the problems people face, and what we can do to make getting around easier and more convenient for everyone. Let&#8217;s hit the road and find out more about urban mobility!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The International Organization for Migration defines a <strong><em>migrant as any person who is moving or has moved
