UPP Prof. Jill Simone Gross’ Article “Migrants and the Right to the City” Published in Yasminah Beebeejaun (ed.) The Participatory City

UPP Prof. Jill Simone Gross’s newest article “Migrants and the Right to the City” has just been published in Yasminah Beebeejaun (Ed.) The Participatory City (Berlin: JOVIS Verlag GmbH, 2016). The article explores “ongoing patterns of exclusion, and the inability of cities to engage citizens in efforts to build socially cohesive neighborhoods.” She asks, “what if anything a right to the city might offer to planners seeking to counter or challenge the forces of…balkanization in the contemporary city?” She uses the case of Dublin, Ireland to illustrate these dilemmas.
