This book explores how migration has shaped cities over time and continues to influence their architecture and urban landscapes today. It examines how people's movement across borders connects with buildings, urban life, and cultural heritage. Bringing together perspectives from an interdisciplinary group of authors, it also highlights how design and planning can help build more welcoming and connected communities. Drawing on case studies from around the world, the contributors bring together diverse research approaches and perspectives that enrich current debates on migration and the built environment.

Divided into four thematic sections, the book gathers papers exploring the central questions that arise where migration meets the built environment. It considers how architecture and urban design respond to global mobility, showing how effective strategies can promote integration, resilience, and the active participation of migrant communities. The influence of transnational movement on architectural languages is also studied, revealing how diverse cultural traditions shape the evolution of spatial forms.

The volume gives special attention to the transformation of urban scenarios through adaptive reuse and heritage preservation, illustrating how the movement of people reshapes shared spaces and collective memory. Ultimately, it stresses the importance of sustainable planning and calls for collaboration among architects, urban designers, and policymakers to build resilient and pluralistic cities.
