About to start: “Arrival Cities and Neighbourhood Traps”
The webinar is being recorded and will be posted afterwards.
“The momentous events of today are playing out in neighbourhoods,” says @DougSaunders. “Although people at that level [including municipal] do not have the authority or resources to deal with them.” 
The suburbanization of immigration and poverty is apparent in these maps, and is shaped by housing, explains @DougSaunders. Building on @OppInsights research, low mobility is become more concentrated and generational.

Immigration is almost always a calculated risk, says @DougSaunders, anticipating connection to the established economy by educated people with the information they can find. They are aspirational journeys, settling though in neighbourhoods with low mobility. #cdnimm #IRSarrival
Settlement into post-industrial, satellite neighbourhoods has a particularly gendered impact on women. One example is the socially isolating effects of building form, explains @DougSaunders at #IRSarrival
One policy responses to poor neighbourhoods, with low mobility, is to move *people* to new neighbourhoods (AKA Moving to Opportunity) versus, for instance, improving the neighbourhood, says @DougSaunders. This leads to a downward Neighbourhood spiral as people leave. #IRSarrival
A range of policy interventions can be identified to remove mobility obstacles, but beware the impact of incentives which may create perverse effects (eg. creating better housing can lead to gentrification), says @DougSaunders at #IRSarrival.
Neighbourhood that become settlement areas often so because of lack of transportation and because of under-resourced schools. So, housing is less costly, says @DougSaunders. Those crowded buses and occupational concentration in essential work is why high COVID rates. #IRSarrival
A citizenship pathway, at least a de facto one, is important, says @DougSaunders, particularly for immigrant groups without wider social networks. To make sure people are connected, city residency should confer access to services and to wider civic participation. #IRSarrival
Neighbourhood #gentrification is complicated because often people from the same immigrant backgrounds are participating in these changes, having bought buildings early on, says @DougSaunders #IRSarrival

What prevents settlement neighbourhoods from becoming time-bombs? Those who live there know what will improve local opportunities. Sometimes building a tram or another one-time investment is better than dealing with the on-going symptoms of deprivation: @DougSaunders #IRSarrival
