Immigrant Integration Governance and Local Development Models in “Left-Behind” Places
Amid demographic decline and outmigration from Portugal’s inner territories, local authorities increasingly position international migration as a lever for rural revitalization. Taking a place-based perspective, this paper analyses the emergence of local immigrant integration governance models developed in two diversifying rural municipalities. Based on interviews with 30 local experts, we show how each municipality’s broader development logic sh…
“Left Behindness” – Is Mobility an Answer?
Rising Inequalities, The Current Turn to Populism and "Left Behind" Areas as Hotspots of Discontent 1 Different terms are used to designate these places.We use here left behind area, just to be consistent with our project proposal.However, left behind area and left behind place will be used here interchangeably.
Frontline Practices and Ambivalent Roles in the Reception and Integration of Immigrants in a Rural Area in Portugal
In Portugal, rural areas have increasingly become immigrant destinations, and attracting them forms part of rural revitalisation strategies. However, these arrivals challenge municipalities with limited resources and capacity. Drawing on a qualitative case study in a municipality located in the Lower Alentejo region in southern Portugal, characterised by demographic decline and growing dependence on migrant agricultural labour, this article analy…
Solidarity Typologies in Dynamics Between Portuguese Emigrants and Their Parents
Motivations for migratory movements tend to be contextualised at an individual level and refer to opportunities related to the country of destination. In the Portuguese context, this view is increasingly limited when we analyse the emigration of young adults since this process directly involves family figures in the country of origin, as they tend to be the first source of support. This paper aims to explore the dimensions of intergenerational so…
Mapping Halal Economies in the City
There is a growing concern among different stakeholders about the relevance of respecting distinct dietary regimes and supplying food that is not only nutritious but also culturally adequate. This is particularly felt in the most diversified cities where minority groups may not have their needs catered for. This paper aims to explore the translocal halal economies that converge in the city of Lisbon and the tactics used by ordinary Muslim househo…

Ambivalence and transnational intergenerational solidarity
Existing literature has highlighted solidarity across generations as a crucial mechanism for transfers and maintaining cohesion within families. However, researching solidarity across generations among transnational families is still an underexplored area, especially from the viewpoint of highly skilled female migrants. This study explored the way highly educated Portuguese adult daughters, living transnationally, perceive the existing solidarity…
Neighborhood Attributes and Well-Being Among Older Adults in Urban Areas
Expanding urbanization rates have engendered increasing research examining linkages between urban environments and older adults’ well-being. This mixed-methods systematic review synthesizes the evidence for the influence of urban neighborhoods’ attributes on older adults’ well-being. We searched for literature published up to December 2020 across six databases and performed quality assessment and thematic analysis. The results, based on 39 identi…
Socio‐spatial negotiations in Lisbon
In the context of inequalities inherent in regimes of mobility and the rapid transformation of Lisbon by increased tourism and transnational mobility, this paper seeks to foreground under‐the‐radar narratives of young working‐aged middle‐class migrants on their socio‐spatial positioning in the city. Situated at the nexus of youth mobilities and lifestyle migration, our objective is to examine the stratifications and diversities present within lif…
What motivates international homebuyers? Investor to lifestyle 'migrants' in a tourist city
In the aftermath of the economic crisis, Lisbon has ascended on to the urban tourism and international property market with a velocity that is transforming the city. Investor immigration programmes and fiscal policy have met their objective of attracting wealthy third country and intra-EU migrants to invest in housing in the city. To date, there is a dearth of empirical and theoretical analyses that explicate the motivations and aspirations of in…
Emplaced mobilities
The arrival in Portugal of recent migrants from the Indian subcontinent is normally a secondary movement from within Europe tied to the search for a regular pathway into legal integration in the EU. However, as favourable migration policy is not paired with easy economic integration onward migration is common. We argue that such complex migration strategies cannot be amply explored through an origin–destination model; instead we suggest that a tr…
Navigating Urban Life in Lisbon
Besides a more general concern over transport infrastructure, its quality and availability, mobility is also a pre-condition for city dwellers to access urban resources, facilities, employment, local services and leisure. Moreover, mobility allows urban inhabitants to uncover a city’s potentialities and to fully participate in urban life. Migrants, nevertheless, face the issue of learning to do mobility in a new environment together with the urge…
Islam in urban spaces
This paper examines processes of residential settlement and incorporation of Lisbon's Muslims arriving first in the post-colonial period and later as international labour migrants. Issues related with Islam in the city are under-researched and seen as unproblematic in Portugal due to lower levels of segregation and the contemporary narrative of Portuguese tolerance. Based on an analysis of the spatiality of Islam in the metropolitan area and the …
Living Apart? Place, Identity and South Asian Residential Choice
This paper looks at changing patterns of residence for South Asians (Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi and other South Asians as represented in the census) in Greater Glasgow, as well as considering what South Asians' motivations for choice of residential location are, and how these relate to issues of personal identity. Providing a single account for the city of Glasgow proves difficult, since there are big differences in experience between traditi…
