Immigration and Urban Landscape Perception:
Why Landscape Matters in the Process of Minorities’ Integration
In the context of Immigration in a Global Age and the raising claim of the « Right to the city», Urban Landscape matters. Inadequate migration policies deepen the breach between hosting societies and migrants, while the lack of public policies on Urban Landscapes, disconnect city growth from livability. We consider that the landscape is the appropriate frame to redefine and represent the Common Good and champion the shared values of our territories. Thus, action is needed to elaborate new inclusive visions for the urban landscape echoing the aims of the local’s perceptions for quality of life, ensuring inclusion of all residents, even temporary ones.
