For this Congress, we submitted a session proposal to the Research Committee 21 (RC21), Sociology of Urban and Regional Development, on the theme ‘Neighbourhoods, SocialMixingandMobilitiesinUrbanandSuburbanAreas’.Wereceived an extremely large number of abstract proposals, and at the Congress itself we were able to host three interlinked sessions on our theme. We would like to thank all of the presenters for a very stimulating set of sessions. We are also grateful to RC21 for their assistance in putting on the sessions, and in particular the efforts of Kuniko Fujita (Michigan State University) and Fernando Diaz Orueta (University of Rioja).FromtheimpressiverangeofpaperpresentationsinGothenburg, weselectedthosethatwefelthadthebestpotentialtoformthebasisfor anexciting,thematicallycoherentbook.Inadditiontothese,eachedi- torco-authoredseparatechaptersrelatedtothethemesofthebook.Paul acknowledgesthecontributionofGarethMillingtonandRupaHuq,his chapterco-authors,andPeersimilarlyacknowledgesthecontributionof AnnemetteHellingatohischapter.
