World Migration Report 2015 (Migrants and Cities: New Partnerships to Manage Mobility)

The World Migration Report 2015: Migrants and Cities, New Partnerships to Manage Mobility ─the eighth report in IOM’s World Migration Report (WMR) series─ focuses on migrants and how migration is shaping cities and the situation of migrants in cities.

While much of the current international discussion about migration trends and migration policy tends to focus on the national level, this report takes migration enquiries to the city level and aims to raise understanding of the local socioeconomic dynamics of migration and the close connection between migration and urban development.
