Offering individual and comparative case studies of cities in the US, Europe, and China, contributions to this volume describe the development of actual practices of organisations working to reinvigorate citizenship at the urban scale. Collectively, they locate institutional forms that help migrants lay claim to their cities, show how migrants can become politically empowered, and identify how they can expand their rights or find other ways to belong.
