Description
In the present age of migration, the influx of immigrants from distant lands leads inevitably to the spatial and social restructuring of cities and regions.
It is often accompanied by fears of and hostility towards the newcomers.
Nevertheless, in Europe, North America and Japan this influx of immigrants is essential to economic growth.
How can immigrants become accepted members of the society of their adopted country?
How can strangers become neighbours? What alchemies of political and social imagination are required to achieve peaceful coexistence in the mongrel cities of the 21st century?
What philosophies and policies have made integration successful in Canada and how can it be translated into European context?The book tackles an important contemporary issue – the social integration of immigrants in a large metropolis – by way of the detailed case study of one Canadian city.
The book provides a large political and legal context which makes this case study comprehensible and inspiring to readers outside Canada.
