Imagining the future region.
Immigrants in regional development policy and visions
In the present framework of globalisation and decentralisation of regional development initiatives, local communities in Iceland are developing future visions and regional growth strategies. These trends will be discussed in relation to immigration, focusing on the questions of visibility and place of immigrants in the future visions for the regions.

Magnfríður Júlíusdóttir is an associate professor in geography at the University of Iceland. Her main fields of research are migration and gender relations in regional development, in both southern African and Icelandic context.
