Inhaltsangabe

This open access book offers a unique and timely investigation of the multifaceted relationship between migration and European cities. Its chapters critically examine the historical, economic, socio-spatial, cultural and policy–political dimensions of the migration–city nexus, bringing together different thematic and disciplinary perspectives that are usually considered separately.

The book engages with the growing theoretical and empirical interest in the urban scale within migration studies, while also drawing on the rich and longstanding body of research on migration and cities across other disciplines. It draws attention to the significant variations both between and within European cities, taking stock not only of the extensive scholarship on north-western Europe – the theoretical heartland of European migration and urban studies – but also of the important contributions made by scholars working in the southern and eastern peripheries of the continent.

In doing so, the book develops a nuanced understanding of the interconnections between migration and cities, while offering readers a guide to navigating the diverse literature that addresses these themes. Written in an accessible style, it is a valuable resource for students, researchers, academics, policymakers, practitioners, and readers who are new to this key area of migration studies.
