In contrast with scholarship in migration and urban studies that has foregrounded the study of ethnic or neighborhood communities, hometown associations, or “ethnic entrepreneurs” in global cities (Eckstein and Nguyen 2011; Rath 2011; Watson 2009), the authors ask how regeneration agendas have been implemented in what they call “disempowered” cities and explore the place of migrants in both narratives of urban revival and policies of urban regeneration.</p><p><em>Text in English</em></p><p>DOI: 10.25285/2078-1938-2020-12-1-203-207</p> ER -
