Abstract

This chapter delves into the intricacies of international urban migration, drawing on data from the World Migration Report 2015 and the International Migration Report 2017. It begins with an overview of global migration trends, highlighting the significant role of migration in urbanization and the challenges posed by data limitations. The analysis focuses on four key global cities—New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo—providing insights into migration patterns, characteristics, and the evolution of migration in these urban centers. The chapter also explores regional disparities in migration, emphasizing the shift towards South-South migration and the growing importance of internal migration in emerging destinations. It concludes by discussing the implications of these trends for policy and the future of urban migration.
