With 117.3 million people displaced worldwide by mid-2025 – double the number a decade ago – this book investigates how contemporary spatial and environmental practice is entangled with illegalised migration. It examines the material regimes that keep displaced populations at bay through case studies from global migration “hotspots”, tracing how movement and resettlement are denied through border walls, militarised zones, detention systems, restrictive laws, digital tools, and forced relocation. Exposing architecture’s complicity with power, the book identifies sites of resistance and argues for architecture as a force opposing division while protecting the right to live in dignity.
