The migration trajectories of over 122 million displaced people worldwide are increasingly shaping spatial developments and, at the same time, deeply shaped by spatial conditions. This introduction examines that mutual constitution of displacement and space as interrelated social structuring processes. Contributors from academia and practice present key concepts and findings of space-sensitive research on (forced) migration. Their multidisciplinary contributions address spatial formations, racism as a space-structuring factor, spaces of (non-)habitation, the diversity of actors involved in spatial productions, as well as the theoretical foundations and practical challenges of a space-sensitive approach to (forced) migration research. The volume is intended for academics, students and practitioners of urban and migration research, architecture, planning, social, cultural and health sciences as well as social work and public administration.
