As urbanisation rapidly increases, cities face growing challenges in accommodating the needs of all their residents, notably those of rising numbers of migrants and displaced people seeking refuge and opportunity. Ensuring improved living conditions and expanded access to adequte services for all, though, demands innovative, sustainable solutions that go beyond traditional, often siloed, humanitarian responses. Through participatory urban planning and the implementation of inclusive public spaces, cities and local governments can leverage coordinated, innovative, and complementary strategies to manage migration flows and harness the opportunities they bring.
This publication explores the relationship between urban issues and migration, highlighting UN-Habitat’s efforts to address these challenges and promote equity, integration, and sustainability.
