4. The mobility of a city population incident to city growth is
reflected in the increased number of contacts, changes of movement,
changes in appearance, and atmosphere of specific areas due to
succession of population groups, and in differences in land values.
Mobility implies not mere movement, but fresh stimulation, an increase
in number and intensity of stimulants, and a tendency to respond more
readily to new stimulation. The process by which the city absorbs and
incorporates its own offspring or foreign elements into its life, and
what becomes of them, may be referred to as the metabolism of city life.
Mobility is an index of metabolism.
