Migration from Central and Eastern-European (CEE) countries has evolved into one of the main migration flows within
Europe. CEE migrants are EU citizens and their mobility can be seen as a form of socio-economic participation on the
European labour market. This project raises the question what the consequences are of this type of mobility for urban
cohesion and urban policies. Latest studies show that migration patterns of CEE migrants are diversifying beyond seasonal
labour migration to more permanent forms of migration. This has raised questions concerning how to deal with primarily
urban social consequences of temporary and more permanent forms of CEE migration. The aim of this project is to enhance
our theoretical and practical understanding of how urban regions can cope with the implications of CEE migration. This
involves (1) an identification of types of migration from CEE countries, (2) an analysis of social implications of these types
of migration for the receiving urban regions (3) an analysis of governance approaches by local governments in the receiving
urban regions to these social implications. The project focuses on urban regions in Austria, the Netherlands, Sweden and
Turkey and includes the perspective of the CEE countries themselves as well.
