The book by Eda Gemis is a significant contribution to the study of urban development processes in the Piraeus region.

The changes are particularly intense from the 1990s onwards. They are mainly due to the migration flow from Eastern European countries, without meaning that the presence of Asian-origin immigrants is of lesser impact.

The author observes and records the spatial and social parameters that highlight the processes and mechanisms that contribute positively to the social integration of immigrants with different ethnic backgrounds.

Evaluates inclusion policies and highlights inclusion strategies in space.

It is particularly important to choose to study both in the Municipality of Piraeus and in a Municipality of its region, the Municipality of Korydallos. It gives us rich material to outline their migration history as comprehensively as possible and to seek the best policies for equal treatment in the local community.
