The Turkish Migrant Economy in Dortmund—An Economy of Urban Diversity

Chapter 8 in The Economies of Urban Diversity, 2013, pp 165-187 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The development of the Ruhr area and its (core) cities has been significantly influenced by immigration. The largest immigrant groups were the Polish in the nineteenth century and, in the context of the so-called guest worker recruitment of the mid-twentieth century, the Turkish workers (see Ulusoy and Bachem-Rehm in this volume). These former immigrants and their descendents have left their mark on the Ruhr, and are today a decisive influence on its cityscapes and the region as a whole.
