Migration into cities : Patterns, processes and regulation

Dublin Core

Workshop organized by the Irmgard Coninx Foundation and the Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural Studies (Osnabrück University) held at the Social Science Research Center Berlin on 25-27 October 2007.

The workshop intended to explore pertinent migratory patterns and processes into urban agglomerations and examined ways how the responsible administrations attempt to cope with migration-related social consequences and problems. The focus was placed less on the reasons of migration, the motives of migrants and on the concrete living conditions upon arrival, but more on the dynamics and characteristics of migration processes themselves and the options and means to regulate or govern these processes.
