Mikaya Koyagi. Iran in Motion: Mobility, Space, and the Trans-Iranian Railway.

The Trans-Iranian Railway is reimagined through the lens of mobility and spatial transformation in Mikaya Koyagi's Iran in Motion. The book argues that the railway's construction during the late 19th century was not merely an engineering feat but a catalyst for profound socio-spatial changes across Iran. Koyagi employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating historical analysis with spatial theory to demonstrate how the railway reshaped regional connectivity, economic landscapes, and cultural identities. The study challenges conventional narratives by emphasizing the railway's role in creating fluid, dynamic spaces rather than fixed geographical boundaries.
