Since its introduction in 2010, almost 30 cities have signed it. This report is based on the input of 22 cities. It finds that migrant integration is being redefined, with policies taking a broader approach to social inclusion, equality and participation. It offers a snapshot into the reality of local integration policies and practices, demonstrating some concrete examples of what cities are doing to include migrants through their everyday policies.
