“…The wide availability and quality of geospatial data facilitates the study of the relationship between socio-economic phenomena, such as migration, and anthropogenic expansion, especially in relation to their impact on the physical environment and for diagnosing urban growth dynamics. This approach has been used in previous related research to study the effect of socio-economic phenomena on urban growth both in Colombia [30] and in several other countries [32][33][34][35][36][37][38].…”

This study investigates the intricate relationship between Venezuelan migration and urban growth in Colombia from 2018 to 2021. The study employs remote sensing data and social network metrics to uncover migration patterns and their impact on urban expansion. The methodology consists of three stages. Firstly, nighttime satellite imagery is used to analyze year-over-year urban growth in Colombia. Secondly, social network data estimates Venezuelan migration, overcoming challenges of underreporting and informal border crossings. Lastly, an econometric analysis explores the quantitative link between Venezuelan migration and urban growth, integrating socioeconomic variables to address endogeneity. The findings reveal the complex interplay of Venezuelan migration, socioeconomic factors, and urban growth. The study outlines remote sensing analysis, introducing the Anthropogenic Footprint Expansion Index (AFEI) to quantify urban growth. Facebook API data estimates migration trends and explores socioeconomic impacts on urban expansion. The analysis uncovers migration, poverty, aging, and urban population proportion as key factors affecting Colombia’s urban landscape. Furthermore, the research underscores how Venezuelan migration affected short-term urban expansion pre- and post-COVID-19. Migration had a notable effect before the pandemic, but this influence waned afterward. The study highlights migration’s short-term nature and emphasizes age demographics’ role in medium-term dynamics.

“…In more recent work, Nick Dines [31] evaluates the differential impact of migration on urbanism in a city in the global South and one in the global North, to draw attention to the importance of studying urban phenomena due to migration in less developed cities. Qirui Li and Cyrus Samimi [32] examine the impact of international migration from Sub-Saharan Africa on the Sustainable Development Goals, to show that migration occurred mainly in the same region -Sub-Saharan Africa -to low-resource but densely populated countries.…”

How far can we compare? Migration studies, comparative urbanism and the potential of a trans‐Mediterranean perspective

Abstract: Through an analysis of migrant incorporation in Rome andRabat, this article investigates the theoretical, methodological and policy consequences of comparing across the fault lines around which urban migration research is conventionally structured. It critically brings into conversation
