Study reveals London and Paris as key immigrant cities 31-01-2007 What are the world’s top immigrant destinations? Answering this question was
central to a study conducted by researchers at the George Washington University
in the United States. With the help of national censuses, they gathered and
analysed data on the foreign born (people born outside the territorial state) in
150 urban areas across the globe.
The study reveals a top tier of twenty cities with more than one million
foreign-born residents:
The data show that one in five of the world’s immigrants chooses one of these
twenty cities to work and/or live in. The selectivity of immigrants in their
destinations underscores the significance of cities as locations that are
disproportionately impacted by immigration. The top-20 of immigrant cities also
demonstrates that immigration is not merely a Western, but a global phenomenon.
In the list of cities with at least 100,000 foreign born, North American and
European metropolitan areas stand out: 30 European and 44 North American cities
have over 100,000 immigrant residents. All West-European countries now have a
least one major immigrant city.
