【 摘 要 】

Walking around the city often implies the mobilisation of various personal equipments, of bags and accessories providing autonomy and comfort to their users. Thus, studying urban walking requires to take into account the material dimension of pedestrian mobility and to pay a specific attention to the relationship between a given environment, objects and human beings. Indeed, it is important to consider that mobile agencies – born from the association of a pedestrian and the different items he or she carries – result from meaningful arbitrations made about the way(s) of being and moving within a public space. Focusing on such agencements’ composition leads us to spread some light on social constraints, collective routines, personal preferences that really matter when it comes to travel through the city.In this article, we bring our attention to pedestrian equipments and to their mobile use during shopping trips. To do so, we bring together two types of research: a scientific research dedicated to the understanding of current mobility practices (sociological survey) and a conceptual and formal research conducted by students of a design school who have been instructed to develop the pedestrian equipment of tomorrow. These combined researches allow us to engage a reflection along three lines: the autonomy of equipped pedestrian, the coordination between passerby, the modularity of “soft” modes of transport.
