Abstract: This article reveals how newcomers weave their own threads into the fabric of urban infrastructure. Entangling their own with other urban assemblages, newcomers generate multi-layered dynamics situationally in order to render possible the lives to which they aspire.

Moreover, they become a central element of migrants' spatial integration and their usage of the city (Buhr 2018).…”
