Immigrant integration is a complex process that involves the interaction of immigrants with the indigenous residents of a Dutch city. This book aims to help other social researchers systematize and ameliorate the analysis of immigrant integration processes in other cities, focusing on issues affecting the individual immigrant within an urban environment. The concept of integration is used to explore the various ways in which individual immigrants relate to more indigenous residents of a Dutch city. The book is divided into three parts: Part I: Theoretical Foundations, Part II: Empirical Research, and Part III: Policy Implications. Part I provides a theoretical framework for understanding immigrant integration, while Part II presents empirical research on immigrant integration in the Netherlands. Part III discusses policy implications of immigrant integration and offers recommendations for improving immigrant integration policies in other cities.
