Neighbourhoods

Migration is often framed in politics and social science at a national scale, but it is in particular places and spaces where its effects are played out. Different neighbourhoods shape the possibilities of settlement, intercultural interaction and migrant integration, both in historical “arrival cities” and in “new contact zones”. Who has the right to the city, and to occupy space in neighbourhoods, is a central question of our age.
