Looking back over the centuries, migration has always formed an
important part of human existence. Spatial mobility emerges as a
key driver of urban evolution, characterized by situation-specific
combinations of opportunities, restrictions, and fears. This
collection of essays investigates interactions between European
cities and migration between the early modern period and the
present. Building on conceptual approaches from history, sociology,
and cultural studies, twelve contributions focus on policies,
representations, and the impact on local communities more
generally. Combining case-studies and theoretical reflections, the
volume's contributions engage with a variety of topics and
disciplinary perspectives yet also with several common themes. One
revolves around problems of definition, both in terms of
demarcating cities from their surroundings and of distinguishing
migration in a narrower sense from other forms of short- and
long-distance mobility. Further shared concerns include the
integration of multiple analytical scales, contextual factors, and
diachronic variables (such as urbanization, industrialization, and
the digital revolution).
