Migration within and across international borders is a story that plays out in the world’s cities. Urban governance and local processes, formal and informal, through which migration is regulated are increasingly shaping human mobility prospects. Municipal authorities, non-state actors, and civil society, therefore, play active roles in the development of urban migration policies as they relate to broader local economic development, regularization of informal labor, and provision of education, health, housing, and urban services. This panel will focus on the role of urban governance in mobility processes.
This panel is part of the Migration, Displacement and Citizenship in an Urban World virtual conference.
Presented by the Cities and Human Mobility Research Collaborative, an initiative of the Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility at The New School.

Janina Stürner-Siovitz is a research fellow at the Centre for Area Studies of the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg. She analyzes migration governance in complex multi-level systems. Taking a bottom-up perspective, she focuses on the interaction between cities, states, and regional/international actors in the realization of the Global Compacts for Migration and Refugees as well as in EU migration and integration policymaking. Furthermore, Janina explores city diplomacy and multi-level partnerships in urban displacement contexts on the African continent. As a policy-oriented researcher she has developed studies, evaluations, and policy papers on behalf of organizations such as the European Commission, the Mediterranean City-to-City Migration Project (MC2CM), and the Robert Bosch Stiftung. Janina is a peer reviewer for the Knowledge Platform of the UN Network on Migration and a member of the UNHCR Global Academic Interdisciplinary Network (GAIN), the Centre for Human Rights Erlangen-Nürnberg (CHREN), and the Cities and Human Mobility Research Collaborative of the Zolberg Institute.

More than ever, the city is the locus of human mobility. The majority of the world’s migrants and forcibly displaced live in urban areas. Migration continues to be a fundamental process to the development and growth of cities. The role of cities in shaping mobility and that of migrants in shaping cities have been increasingly recognized in policy, academic, and media circles. Understanding this relationship and its implications for political and policy action requires us to gather new evidence from cities the world over and to possibly challenge past assumptions and theoretical concepts.
Key questions that emerge in this context are: What is the role of urban governance in addressing the challenges and in harnessing the opportunities that come with migration? How do cities negotiate contested views surrounding the topic of migration? How do new forms of mobility and technological advances affect membership and belonging? How do shifting narratives on migration and displacement shape political and media discourse? Â
This virtual conference is organized by the Cities and Human Mobility Research Collaborative, a consortium that aims to advance research on cities, mobility, and citizenship. The event will bring together leading scholars from across disciplines with the purpose of sharing recent research on the following themes: (a) Cities, Human Mobility and Digital Citizenship, (b) Cities and Environmental Mobility, (c) Mobility and Urban Governance, (d) Cities, Migration and Contentious Politics, (e) Refugees and Cities, (f) New Narratives on Cities and Mobility.
