Immigrant Integration: An Economic Development Strategy

Peter Gonzalez

Cascade, 2016, vol. 4

Abstract: Immigrant integration ? a dynamic, two-way process in which newcomers and the receiving communities work together to build a secure, vibrant, and cohesive society ? was the focus of a well-attended panel session at the Reinventing Our Communities conference in September in Philadelphia. Receiving communities can be geographic areas such as neighborhoods, or economic, social, or civic institutions such as employers, schools, or government agencies. When cities and communities around the country are able to harness the skills, experience, and energy that immigrants bring with them, the newcomers and the entire community experience the benefits.
