The research group is focusing on urban refugees, to increase awareness, knowledge-base, and public discourse on the topic and how it can contribute to urban development. At the core of our research is to find out how cities in Indonesia that directly experience the influx of migration welcome and deal with refugees despite the limited regulation and framework in the country.
