Superdiversity: Policy challenges in an age of unprecedented migration

Migration researcher Professor Jenny Phillimore joins the Up Close podcast to explain how the recent global phenomenon of superdiversity is challenging policy makers and service providers to rethink housing and health care in our cities and beyond.

“We all move more than we used to. We used to be born in a place and we’d die there. We don’t tend to do that as much anymore,” she says.

“Migration isn’t quite the risk it used to be. Once upon a time it would be a case of, well, if I leave, I leave forever. Now, thanks to social media, there is some kind of connection to those left behind.”
