NYC Global Partners, a nonprofit organization working in partnership with the New York City Mayor’s Office for International Affairs, engages with cities around the world to drive innovation around modern urban challenges. With a focus on municipal immigration policies, Global Partners engaged a Capstone team to identify and develop partnerships with other international cities as a way to advance immigrant inclusion. Drawing on best practices from New York City, Paris, and Barcelona, the Capstone team identified potential spaces and platforms for collaboration on immigrant inclusion policies. Based on its findings, the team recommended guidelines to measure and evaluate successful partnerships among international cities. Additionally, the team proposed a platform for New York City and global cities to engage in information exchanges regarding best practices on immigrant inclusion.
