Hatziprokopiou, Y., Frangopoulos, Y. and Montagna, N. (2016) ‘Migration and the city: diversity, migrant economies and urban space’, City, 20 (1), pp. 52-60.
This introduction to a special issue on diversity, migrant economies and urban space scrutinises the main narratives around the multicultural city: successful cosmopolitanism contrasted with ethno-cultural differences that lead to neighbourhood decay. The authors show how diversity increasingly inhabits ordinary spaces.

Darling, J. (2016) ‘Forced migration and the city: irregularity, informality, and the politics of presence’, Progress in Human Geography, 41 (2), pp.178-198.
This paper centres on the relationship between the city and forced migration. It considers this with regard to informality and the presence of unrecognised groups in the urban environment. Both are seen as ways to examine cities as sites of politicisation and critique of state practices.
Agier, M. (2019) ‘Camps, encampments, and occupations: from the heterotopia to the urban subject’, Ethnos: Journal of Anthropology, 84 (1), pp. 14-26.
Tackles how global inequality is made visible through the formation of precarious spaces. For Agier, worldwide inegalitarianism has engendered various processes of urban formation that include camps, informal encampments and occupations amongst others. These all function first and foremost as places of refuge, at least at their inception.
