Meet Suzi Hall, an architect-ethnographer and Director of the LSE Cities programme, who studies the inner workings of multi-ethnic streets in five British cities. Suzi took us to a super-diverse street in South London, Peckham’s Rye Lane, where proprietors from more than 20 countries run their businesses on the 10-min long stretch.

We asked Suzi what we can learn from Rye Lane, in terms of how migrants get on the job ladder, what streets like this mean for the economy, and what we can learn about the ways migration shapes modern cities.

Check out Suzi’s ethnographic study on Rye Lane and the street’s economic and cultural life.

See exactly where Rye Lane’s shop proprietors come from, a map that reflects UK’s history and relationship with the world.

IOM has recently launched a report that shows how migration is shaping cities worldwide.
