In her latest book, Welcoming Cities: How Newcomers Shape Urban Policy Making, Jacqui offers a research-grounded, interdisciplinary framework for understanding what it means for cities to be truly inclusive. Drawing on empirical evidence and case studies from 12 UK cities and international partners, the book examines how local governments define, develop, and implement “welcoming” policies across governance, services, and social cohesion. It moves beyond critique to provide constructive, action-oriented insights on building more equitable, cohesive urban communities in increasingly diverse societies, making it essential reading for policymakers, scholars, and practitioners in urban governance and migration studies.
