The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive overview of the processes of residential segregation and/or socio-economic integration of migrant populations in urban areas. The thirteen contributions included in this Special Issue examine urban contexts across diverse geographical areas. 
-
In particular, they focus on Southern European countries with a historical background of emigration — such as Greece, Italy, and Spain — as well as Central and Northern European countries like France and the United Kingdom that are characterized by a long-standing tradition of immigration. 
-
The Special Issue also features a contribution on Iran, a geographical context that has been rarely explored in this field of study, along with two papers focusing on the United States, a country with an extensive tradition of research on these topics. The findings underscore the importance of adopting a local-scale approach to measure and understand the complex and multidimensional phenomenon of foreign presence within the urban fabric. 
-
Consequently, they highlight the need to produce evidence that can support place-based policies aimed at promoting the local integration of migrants and strengthening social cohesion.
