Working at the meeting point of scholarship and activism, Angélil and Siress study the material regimes built to keep displaced populations at a distance, using case studies from the world's migration 'hotspots'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey trace how the right to move and resettle is withheld through border walls, militarised zones, detention and deportation systems, restrictive law, digital surveillance and even buses used to relocate unwanted groups—divisions that no longer map neatly onto a North–South split. The authors also locate sites of resistance, and argue for architecture as an agent against division, proposing concrete countermeasures from a global pact against climate apartheid to inclusive refugee settlements, infrastructure along migration routes and legal assistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase studies drawn from global centres of forced migration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrings scholarship and activism together in a single argument\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSets out concrete countermeasures rather than critique alone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow walls, zones, laws and surveillance tools together form a spatial regime of exclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere architecture has been complicit with power, and how it might act otherwise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy today's lines of separation cut across the old divide between developed and developing worlds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat inclusive settlements and supportive infrastructure along migration routes could look like\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarc Angélil and Cary Siress write together at the intersection of architectural scholarship and activism.
