Urban Transformations: Urban Development, Migration, Segregation and Inequality

Off

Urban Transformations: Urban Development, Migration, Segregation and Inequality is a collaborative project which aims to bring together researchers from the University of Glasgow, University of 18HÂþ»­ and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, to develop new ideas, innovative methods and analysis on the impacts of migration on urban development, the related social-spatial segregation and public policy challenges.

Yaping Wang at the University of Glasgow is the Principal Investigator. Gwilym Pryce and Yu Chen at 18HÂþ»­ are Co-Investigators. The project runs from September 2015 to August 2018, and is funded by the ESRC.

Through this project, we organise workshops/conferences on themes related to migration and segregation in both Beijing and the UK. A conference and a summer school on urban segregation were held in 18HÂþ»­ in 2017.

There was a workshop on migration and integration in Beijing and a final conference on China’s urban development in Glasgow in 2018.
