The International
Metropolis Project
The International Metropolis Project is a set of co-ordinated activities
carried out by a membership of research, policy and non-governmental
organizations who share a vision of strengthened migration policy by
means of applied academic research. The Metropolis membership, now from
over twenty countries and a number of international research and policy
organizations representing a wide range of policy and academic interests,
is sustained by the attractions of its core idea. It is the promise of
more effective policy making, more socially meaningful research practices,
and the excitement of international collaboration towards common goals
that bring people to the Metropolis table to turn a vision into a concrete
project.
The underlying idea is that the members will work collaboratively
on issues of immigration and integration, always with the goal of strengthening
policy and thereby allowing societies to better manage the challenges
and opportunities that immigration presents, especially to their cities.
