--## **Key Statistics**
--1. **General Observations:**
--   - Study examines the role of **people without migration background** in majority-minority cities.
--   - Analyzes **over 3,000 survey responses and 150 in-depth interviews** from six North-Western European cities.
--
--2. **Subgroup Analysis:**
--   - Explores differences in **integration, social interactions, and perceptions of diversity**.
--   - Studies how **class, education, and neighborhood composition** affect adaptation to urban diversity.
--
--3. **Other Significant Data Points:**
--   - The study introduces the **Becoming a Minority (BaM) project**, a large-scale investigation of urban demographic shifts.
--   - **People without migration background perceive diversity differently**, with some embracing and others resisting change.
--
-----
--
--## **Findings**
--1. **Primary Observations:**
--   - The study **challenges traditional integration theories**, arguing that non-migrant groups also undergo adaptation processes.
--   - Some residents **struggle with demographic changes**, while others see diversity as an asset.
--
--2. **Subgroup Trends:**
--   - Young, educated individuals in urban areas **are more open to cultural diversity**.
--   - Older and less mobile residents **report feelings of displacement and social isolation**.
--
--3. **Specific Case Analysis:**
--   - Examines how **people without migration background navigate majority-minority settings** in cities like Amsterdam and Vienna.
--   - Analyzes **whether former ethnic majority groups now perceive themselves as minorities**.

--
--## **Critique and Observations**
--1. **Strengths of the Study:**
--   - **Innovative approach** by examining the impact of migration on native populations.
--   - Uses **both qualitative and quantitative data** for robust analysis.
--
--2. **Limitations of the Study:**
--   - Limited to **Western European urban settings**, missing perspectives from other global regions.
--   - Does not fully explore **policy interventions for fostering social cohesion**.
--
--3. **Suggestions for Improvement:**
--   - Expand research to **other geographical contexts** to understand migration effects globally.
--   - Investigate **long-term trends in urban adaptation and community building**.

--
--## **Relevance to Subproject**
--- Provides a **new perspective on urban integration**, shifting focus from migrants to native-born populations.
--- Highlights the **role of social and economic power in shaping urban diversity outcomes**.
--- Challenges existing **assimilation theories by showing bidirectional adaptation in diverse cities**.
--
-----
--
--## **Suggestions for Further Exploration**
--1. Study how **local policies shape attitudes toward urban diversity**.
--2. Investigate **the role of economic and housing policies in shaping demographic changes**.
--3. Explore **how social networks influence perceptions of migration and diversity**.

--
--## **Summary of Research Study**
--This study examines how **people without migration background experience demographic change in majority-minority cities**. Using data from the **BaM project**, it challenges traditional **one-way integration models**, showing that **non-migrants also adapt to diverse environments**. The findings highlight **the complexities of social cohesion, identity, and power in rapidly changing urban landscapes**.
