1. MO B D OM c r a n e mo v e s inhabitants and MOBDOM to road side transport.
2. From there on in it moves by freight including inhabitants & personal vehicle
3. First a short hop from the MOBDOM to the train yard by HGV
4. MOBDOM utlises rail system overnight.
5. Wake at destination in new MOBDOM.
6. Move supports changing shifting lifestyle patters; longer time in fulltime education, separate living
between family and marriage home.
7. Long distance relocation takes the MOBDOM, personal vehicle via ship. People fly separately.
8. Option to use ship with rails for trains as used in Scandinavia

This is the foreword to the concept of Mobile Domicile, described in detail at MOBDOM.org.ukIn this concept, every individual has their own living quarter that can be moved like a cargo container. Inside each unit are the tools of life, an electronic transporter for short journeys, linkable with family units. Pods for cooking,
sleeping, ablutions, and they are transferable depending on our preferences.

Indeed, the whole point of MOBDOM is that the spaces we inhabit need not be fixed, instead they need only have the services we need to survive; energy, water and waste services are all that is required. The services and wireframe structure in which the container sits is the MOBDOM Hive and this structure is scalable. As strange as it seems, the inherent mobility of this solution is its key.

Lets take a hypothetical example of someone's life within this model to better explain it using a fictional character. Alexi is a Studentfrom the Midlands, accepted to do his Degree on the South Coast. He spends 30 weeks a year in his MOBDOM at Uni and inbetween times he is transported home in his MOBDOM during a night of his choosing at the end of each term. Alternately, Alexi chooses to attach to his Mother's MOBDOM in the Midlands and occasionally vacations with his father in the North.

This way he continues his studies, his familial links and need not be concerned about the costs of relocating 6 times a year away from his families. Instead, his space goes with him, with him in it, preferably at night, when the world slumbers, Alexi is moved gently by the Hive Crane to flatbed truck and straight onto a nearby cargo train. He wakes the following day at his destination and wakes to find his life has been reorganised and he may continue with his development in study. If you think this ridiculous bear in mind that while we discuss the merits of Course fees at University, the Cuban government still provides transport, pencils, pens and paper and food, to all of its Students.

Eventually, Alexi Graduates three times from his School of Engineering, elects a job offer in the South East and applies for semi-permanent residence in a Hive nearby his workplace but also conveniently situated for his recreational activities in the capital. Just as people always have he
