This paper, written for the Global Commission on International migration (GCIM), questions the common belief that international migration has almost exclusively a South-North direction, highlighting the growing complexity of today migration patterns. Based on a comparative analysis of case studies, this paper discusses the complexity of international migration in a selected range of cities in developing countries, presenting the emerging issues it raises in different urban contexts, and exploring how the phenomenon is perceived and managed at the urban level. Understanding the mobility of population and the social and cultural changes that accompany it is essential for designing effective strategies to deal with the problems and opportunities offered by current and future international migration flows. |
