Series: Routledge Research in Place, Space and Politics

Urban refugees now account for over half the total number of refugees worldwide. Yet to date, far more research has been done on refugees living in camps and settlements set up expressly for them. This book provides crucial insights into the worldwide phenomenon of refugee flows into urban settings, repercussions for those seeking protection, and the agencies and organizations tasked to assist them. It provides a comparative exploration of refugees and asylum seekers in nine urban areas in Africa, Asia and Europe to examine issues such as status recognition, international and national actors, housing, education and integration. The book explores the relationship between refugee policies of international organisations and national governments and on the ground realities and demonstrates both the diverse of circumstances in which refugees live, and their struggle for recognition, protection and livelihoods.

Reviews for Urban Refugees: Challenges in Protection, Services and Policy

"""Urban Refugees: Challenges in Protection, Services and Policy is the first edited volume to tackle the topic of urban refugees and their survival ‘‘between a rock and a hard place"". (…) this edited collection serves not only as a useful introduction to the phenomenon of urban refugees but will also be relevant to those with a particular interest in the refugee situation in one of the cities or countries covered."" - Neil James Wilson, City University of London"
