To ensure international comparative research the MPMC project has taken stock of all particularities of a city in the form of so-called city templates. They include the following information: I. Basic Data Size (municipality); Relative significance of city in region and country; Cycles of Migration; Composition of immigrant / ethnic minority populations; Concentration (residential, economic); Mobilisation, organisation (key events and associations); Political, syndicalist and religious affiliation of the different ethnic groups. II. Relevant Political structures Levels of administration, territorial organisation (national, regional, municipal); Relation between local levels and other levels of government; Decision-making processes; Relevant legislation on the legal, social, cultural and political status of immigrants; General description of immigrant/ethnic minority directed policies of the municipality; Participatory frameworks for immigrants/ethnic minorities. III. Case group features History of immigrant / ethnic minority group(s) in that city; Examples of strategy, mobilisation and impact of engaging with 'top-down' participatory frameworks. IV. Relevant research Existing, relevant studies of importance focused on the city and relevant results. The following city templates are available (in Word and PDF format): Amsterdam Athens Barcelona Belgium: Antwerp Brussels Liege Birmingham Cologne, also available in German Marseille Milan Oeiras (Lisbon) Figure 1 Paris Rome Stockholm Tel Aviv Turin Zurich
