Due to heightened global migration and transnational mobility, many
residents of the world's cities lack national citizenship in the
places to which they have moved for work, refuge, or retirement.
The disjuncture between citizenship and daily life has led to
devolution of claims from national to urban space. Within
nation-states characterized by structured inequalities, citizens
have not reduced their social differences. This leads increasingly
to calls for greater direct involvement of marginalized classes in
reshaping the institutions and spaces directly affecting their
lives. These concerns cities without citizenship and people without
political power inform the agendas of organizations that seek to
restructure urban citizenship in more democratic directions.
Remaking Urban Citizenship focuses on the uses and limits of such
political organizations and coalitions, shows the various ways they
pursue expanded rights within the city, and describes the
institutional changes necessary to empower global migrants and
popular classes as urban citizens. Offering individual or
comparative case studies of cities in the United States, Europe,
and China, contributions to this volume describe the development of
actual practices of organizations working to reinvigorate
citizenship at the urban scale. Collectively, they locate
institutional forms that help migrants lay claim to their cities,
show how migrants can become politically empowered, and identify
how they can expand their rights or find other ways to belong.
