SLOT 2: Dynamiques socio-spatiales des relations interethniques et de genre (Parallel Session 10) Chair: Adelina Miranda (Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II), Camille Schmoll (Université Paris Diderot/Géographie-cités/Ecole Français de Rome) Presentation 1 Author(s): Dolores Sánchez-Aguilera (University of Barcelona, Spain) Title: Re-composition of international migration in large urban areas Spanish Abstract: International migration has been, without doubt, the most dynamic element of the Spanish population over the past two decades. The position of Spain as a gateway to migration from Africa and Latin America, as well as the stage of economic expansion in the country explain the arrival of very large flows of migrants, who have changed the face of Spanish society. These flows are particularly significant in urban areas, where the most important volumes of foreign nationality residents are located. The emergence of the economic crisis in Spain is assuming changes in migration patterns. The hardness of the economic situation, the dramatic and alarming increase in unemployment, has punished specially the group of immigrants. This means changes in past trends, not only the flow slowed down, but the trend is reversed and it’s significant the rise of outmigration, composed of foreign immigrants affected by the economic situation and who want to return to their country and local people that will seek better employment opportunities, especially for young people. At the territorial level, new trends represent a restructuring of foreign immigrant groups, which will develop new strategies to fight against economic instability. The purpose of this paper is to present the changes in the composition and the new territorial dynamics of immigration in the current context, and analyze changes of these aspects in major Spanish cities. Presentation 2 Author(s): Marina Fuschi (Università “G. d’Annunzio” Chieti Pescara, Italy) Title: Immigrants and urban space in Pescara: inclusion of housing and socio-spatial segregation Abstract: The relationship between immigrants and urban space can be read both with regard to the housing dimension, and considering the wider territorialisation processes of public space. This paper aims to analyze the spatial dimension of migration in Pescara by verifying these processes, considering the growing importance that the foreign component, since the last few decades, has in the Adriatic city. In addition, compared to a relative weakness of national integrative policies, we will analyze the approaches of the local administration, compelled between lack of resources and institutional vulnerability, the latter marked - among other things - by a chronic inability to interact with a Rom group historically present in Pescara. Presentation 3 Author(s): Lianet Camara (University of Verona, Italy) Title: Living the urban spaces of migrant women Abstract: It is widely known that female migration in recent years has become a very complex and debated phenomenon in Europe. The cities of northern Italy are the ones to receive greater flows of people. In Veneto the female component is very consistent though diversified by country of origin. The city has accommodated the largest percentages of arrivals with the highest shares in the labor market. This paper analyzes the use of different spaces especially public, in the urban context of Padua where the migrant woman is visible, but whose life within the domestic space remains hidden. The question We try to answer is if these spaces represent an appropriation of them by women migrants. In a city like Padua characterized by fragmentation of space, attends a real transformation of the territorial configuration in a new multicultural setting. The city, vivify by women and children from different origins, returns a different picture of urban structure (positive, save, dynamic, innovative), but also assumes a significance that allows you to read the urban space in terms of the difference of use, of perceptions, of power switched to resources and opportunities. In the new geography of the city the binomial space-gender emerges in those scopes that are invested with a new sense of place.
