Migration, Urbanization, And Urban Development Challenges: A Development Administration Perspective

Abstract

In the face of accelerating global urbanization, this study explores the intricate dynamics between migration and urban development, viewed through the lens of development administration. The paper examines how migratory flows, primarily driven by economic, social, and environmental factors, influence urban landscapes and governance structures. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research analyzes data from multiple urban centers experiencing significant migrant influxes. Key findings indicate that migration profoundly affects urban planning, resource allocation, infrastructure development, and social services provision. The study highlights the need for adaptive governance frameworks that can effectively manage the complexities introduced by migration. Furthermore, it sheds light on the role of policy interventions in facilitating sustainable urban development in the context of growing migrant populations. This research contributes to the understanding of migration's impact on urban development, offering valuable insights for policymakers and development administrators grappling with the challenges of urban growth and population diversity.
