Mobility and Urban Governance
Migration within and across international borders is a story that plays out in the world’s cities. Urban governance and local processes, formal and informal, through which migration is regulated are increasingly shaping human mobility prospects. Municipal authorities, non-state actors and civil society therefore play active roles in the development of urban migration policies as they relate to broader local economic development, regularization of informal labor and provision of education, health, housing and urban services.
