Great places to live, work and play

OPENCities explores how immigration can significantly contribute to city success.

By tracing the links between new migrant population (first and second generation) and other drivers of success within cities, OPENCities will produce a portfolio of best practice case studies, indexes of cities' openness and a set of guidelines for city policies. These will allow cities to build upon the potential of these new populations and to facilitate integration.
