Negotiating “Left‐Behindness” and Migration‐Related Diversity in (New) Arrival Spaces
Places “left behind” often face socio‐economic downturn, demographic decline, and marginalisation resulting from uneven development. Yet these places are no longer only points of departure; they increasingly function as arrival areas for international migrants. Building on growing work on migrant settlement patterns away from large cities, this article investigates arrival neighbourhoods across Germany through the lens of “left‐behindness." Based…
L’accueil des personnes réfugiées hors des métropoles: Entre Fragilité Territoriale Et Cosmopolitisme Rural
Ces cinquante dernières années, les espaces ruraux se sont fortement diversifiés, témoignant d’une recomposition sociospatiale profonde grâce à l’immigration. Dans les études migratoires, nous observons une consolidation, durant les dix dernières années, du rôle joué par les espaces ruraux dans le déploiement du dispositif national d’accueil des personnes réfugiées. Notre article cherche à comprendre en quoi l’arrivée récente de cette population …
Multiscalar and In/Formal: Infrastructuring Refugee Arrival in Disempowered Cities
This article explores how refugee arrival is infrastructured in declining cities in the US, France, and Germany, examining whether urban shrinkage affects local practices of facilitating the arrival and emplacement of newcomers. In doing so, it reveals how refugee arrival is infrastructured across scales and by a bricolage of actors operating on a spectrum of in/formality. While a great deal of arrival infrastructuring takes place locally, the mu…
From the ‘‘Former Rubber Capital of the World’’ to Space of Hope? Refugees and Urban Transformations in Akron, Ohio
The US city of Akron, Ohio, has long struggled with the effects of urban decline. Once the ‟Rubber Capital of the World,” the city has experienced significant downscaling during the twenty-first century, marked by an economic downturn and declining population numbers. However, the city has become an important site for refugee resettlement in Ohio, and its North Hill neighborhood has emerged as what one could call a ‟laboratory” for urban revitali…
Welcoming, Revitalising, Re-Growing? Refugee Arrival and Urban Development in Shrinking Cities
Refugees are increasingly relocated to shrinking cities, bringing refugee-centred revitalisation as an urban development strategy to the forefront of policy discourse at the migration-development nexus (see Pottie-Sherman, 2018). Including refugees in local revitalisation strategies has social, political, economic, and legal dimensions, which make it important to look beyond statistics of urban growth and decline and analyse local processes. Crit…
