Full Description
This incisive Handbook explores the multifaceted impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on migrant populations such as international students, refugees, undocumented migrants and informal urban workers. It examines how migration and urbanization have been reshaped by the pandemic and emphasizes the pivotal role of governments and cities in crisis management.
Expert authors discuss how the pandemic has disproportionately affected migrant communities, particularly those in densely populated urban areas, by exacerbating existing social and economic inequalities and obstructing access to basic amenities. They analyze detailed case studies on different global responses to reduced mobility, such as the effect of containment measures on Venezuelan migrants in urban Ecuador and the impact of the pandemic on internal migration in Iran. This Handbook demonstrates the importance of resilience and preparedness in urban governance, advocating for proactive policies to implement public health measures, collaborate with international organizations in assisting migrant populations and deal with potential future crises.
Students and scholars of regional and urban economics, migration and sustainable cities and communities will benefit from this highly informative Handbook. It is also a crucial resource for academics studying health policy and economics, as well as practitioners and policymakers in migration, urbanization and crisis management.
