WELCOME TO THE 11TH
INTERNATIONAL METROPOLIS CONFERENCE SITE |
INTRODUCTION
People on the move grow increasingly diverse, and so do the routes,
processes and places involved. For this reason, the 11th International
Metropolis Conference in Lisbon, Portugal, sought to provide a forum to
foster the exchange of knowledge and encourage dialogue among
specialists and decision-makers from places that send and receive
migrants.
The 11th
International Metropolis Conference, with “Paths & Crossroads:
Moving
People,
Changing
Places”
as its theme, addressed
a wide range of issues related to globalisation, diversity and current
complex migratory phenomena.
This
conference made for
an excellent occasion to engage in highly relevant and much-needed
policy debates as well as to develop new research areas.
In light of
the particular experience Portugal has had as both a country of
emigration and immigration, this year’s conference
took
a closer look at
the effects of migration in the places that send and receive migrants
and the relationship between them.
It was
a week of intense
discussion and exchange of knowledge and experience
that
also allowed participants
to take
time out
to explore Lisbon's
charming neighbourhoods, historical monuments, museums
and gardens.
