<p>Since the 1960s, new and more diverse waves of immigrants have changed the demographic composition and the landscapes of North American cities and their suburbs.<em>The Housing and Economic Experiences of Immigrants in U.S. and Canadian Cities</em> is a collection of essays examining how recent immigrants have fared in getting access to jobs and housing in urban centres across the continent.</p><p>Using a variety of methodologies, contributors from both countries present original research on a range of issues connected to housing and economic experiences. They offer both a broad overview and a series of detailed case studies that highlight the experiences of particular communities. This volume demonstrates that, while the United States and Canada have much in common when it comes to urban development, there are important structural and historical differences between the immigrant experiences in these two countries.</p>
