The role of Cities in driving global economies has been well covered, and their impact on the larger ecosystem is well documented. Resilient and Sustainable Cities: Research, Policy and Practice explores how cities can be transformed into sustainable fabrics, while leading to positive socio-economic change.

The topics include urban policy and covers the challenges cities experienced during the pandemic and resulting urban responses from federal, state, and local levels. This includes a transdisciplinary perspective dwelling on the city narrative, including Resources, Economics, Politics, and others.

Resilient and Sustainable Cities serves as a valuable resource for leaders and practitioners working in Urban Policy and academia, as well as students in urban planning, architecture, and policy undergraduate and graduate level programs.

Inequalities and other “social fractures” mark our contemporary economies and societies. While global approaches may have long been sufficient in the past, the focus today is on how local dynamics can make inclusion possible.

This two-volume collective work reports on these local dynamics, shedding light on how the creation of inclusive territories can be envisaged and developed. To this end, the involvement of public, private and associative organizations has been identified as one of the conditions for success. In fact, they act both as partners in a territory and as inclusive spaces.Inclusive Territories 1 examines the approaches implemented by several organizations that have made inclusion their wider objective.

Inclusive Territories 2 focuses on local partnerships that promote inclusion, presenting existing arrangements and discussing conditions for their impetus.

While territories have always faced multiple challenges, the addition of ecological transition to economic, cultural and social issues complicates matters considerably. Transition calls for new perspectives.

The reinvention of territories through solidarity appears to be a particularly relevant approach as it allows us to draw on the many innovations brought about by players in the social and solidarity economy (SSE). To illustrate this point, the book brings together case studies that bear witness to their astonishing ability to link the economy and local democracy to ensure the sustainability of their activities. These case studies illustrate a renewed vision of territorial development based on cooperation between the SSE, local authorities, entrepreneurs and citizens. Subsequently, they usher in a new way of thinking about public action, in which solidarity players undertake an important role, in co-constructing with local public players, systems capable of meeting the major challenges of our time.

In this broad-based, imaginative and challenging volume by front-runners in the domain of immigrant and refugee entrepreneurship, Ivan Light, Leo-Paul Dana and Didier Chabaud contribute a near boundless magnitude to our understanding of this realm of scholarship, agency, endurance, and survivorship. Their insights into the saliency of these forms of collective effort are as impressive as they are persuasive.  Seven Gold, Department of Sociology, Michigan State University.  

This book holds significant academic merit and also serves as an essential tool for policymakers, scholars, and anyone keen on understanding the deep influence of immigrant entrepreneurship on global society. Additionally, it celebrates the relentless spirit of immigrant entrepreneurs who persistently foster innovation and drive transformative changes within their communities.   Thomas Cooney, College of Business, Technological University Dublin  

“History, Cases, and Frontiers.” That subtitle explains exactly what this remarkable book provides. The history section offers a depth of understanding that literature reviews cannot match. The cases assemble all the evidence now available regarding immigrant and refugee entrepreneurship in Europe, and the frontiers section takes readers to the boundary of theoretically informed current research. A glossary eases access for newcomers.  It all amounts to a one-stop complete education that fills gaps in the knowledge of experienced researchers and enables others quickly to attain qualification.    Marina Dabić,  Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Zagreb 

A carefully crafted volume with thoughtful case studies that capture the nuances of the complexity, diversity, changing patterns, and impacts of immigrant and refugee entrepreneurship.   Min Zhou, Department of Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles
