This volume examines how cities, migration, and urban governance
are intertwined. Questioning and re-working the conceptual reliance
on “scales” and “levels”, it draws on examples from both
Europe and North America to conceptualize the variety of cities as
re-active and pro-active within “glocal” and
“socio-territorial dynamics”. The book covers the governance of
the myriad dimensions of urban life, such as work, housing, racism,
Islamophobia, xenophobia, the arts, leisure, and other cultural
practices, political participation, social movements, and
“contentious politics” in North American and European cities.
While cities might implement “integration policies,” the
chapters do not necessarily assume that migrants live with the
telos of “integration”, but rather conduct their lives as
anyone else would, making meaning and voicing concerns under often
difficult material conditions, strewn with the markers of race,
religion, gender, sexuality, age, and often illegality. The volume
highlights four arguments, themes, or contributions addressed by
one or more of the chapters: how demographic change is prompting
more pro-active urban governance responses in many cities in the
21st century; how the sheer complexity of migration in the 21st
century is shaping the participation of citizen civil society
actors, the growing role of new private actors in the realm of
urban governance, and the participation of migrants themselves in
this governance. The book reminds us that we are confronted with a
spectrum of urban governance strategies, ranging from re-active
cities to pro-active and welcoming cities. Both timely and
relevant, this book collects the work of well-known scholars in the
field of migration and urban studies. The chapters in this book
were originally published as a special issue of Geographical
Review.
