Urban Governance of Migration. Discurses and Practices in Manchester and Germany

In the context of new migration dynamics, cities are redefining their role in the governance of migration. A propitious field to conduct new municipal migration politics seems to be urban regeneration, where attempts to deal with diverse communities at neighborhood level and also integration politics have a long tradition.

The paper compares examples of ‘migration-led regeneration’ in Manchester and Germany with focus on housing (re-)development.
