What are the spatial patterns of immigration influx into major cities over the past decade, and how do these patterns correlate with factors such as economic opportunities, cultural diversity, and policy frameworks?
Over the last few decades, we have witnessed increased global migration patterns, with major cities emerging as a primary destination for immigrants seeking economic, educational, or social opportunities. This has reshaped the demographic composition of urban areas. Understanding the spatial dynamics of immigration has become an important area of study. By examining the distribution of immigrant populations across major cities and their surrounding regions, we can dive into these patterns, such as economic opportunity, cultural diversity, and governmental policies. This is an attempt to not only map the spatial dimensions of immigration but also look at the multifaceted interactions between migrants and their new environments.
Very large scale project. Not bad at this early stage, but we’ll likely want to hone in on a region or a few cities. Tie immigration to ONE additional variable to make it more manageable. Any of particular interest? Email me after break to set up a time to chat!
