Urbanisation/Migration Nexus Project

This study was part of a DFID-SARH commissioned research project on the Urbanisation-Construction-Migration Nexus in five cities of South Asia, namely, Kabul, Dhaka, Chennai, Kathmandu, and Lahore. It contributes to the literature on urbanisation and migration, as well as to their practice and policy domains by: (i) linking the growing power of urban consumption and investment with (ii) the demand for rural migrant contract construction labour (transient migrants) via (iii) large-scale urban construction projects (residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure). you can read the report here.
