Synopsis "Cities, Migration, and Governance "

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.
