This open access book draws a theoretically productive triangle
between urban studies, theories of cosmopolitanism, and migration
studies in a global context. It provides a unique, encompassing and
situated view on the various relations between cosmopolitanism and
urbanity in the contemporary world. Drawing on a variety of cities
in Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa and North America, it
overcomes the Eurocentric bias that has marked debate on
cosmopolitanism from its inception. The contributions highlight the
crucial role of migrants as actors of urban change and targets of
urban policies, thus reconciling empirical and normative approaches
to cosmopolitanism. By addressing issues such as cosmopolitanism
and urban geographies of power, locations and temporalities of
subaltern cosmopolites, political meanings and effects of
cosmopolitan practices and discourses in urban contexts, it
revisits contemporary debates on superdiversity, urban
stratification and local incorporation, and assess the role of
migration and mobility in globalization and social change.
