Centring around a case study of Buffalo, New York (NY), USA, it adds to the small but growing number of studies on resettlement in post-industrial contexts. Buffalo is experiencing economic and population growth, termed by some as the city?s renaissance (even the refugee renaissance), while others regard it as gentrification and exclusionary development. At the same time, the city has become one of the largest resettlement sites in the country. In politicians? statements and the media, refugees are credited with being one of the key drivers for this development in the city. Through interviews with various stakeholders, I explore how these phenomena are understood. I argue that this convening of factors creates a particular conception of the figure of the resettled refugee. In Buffalo, refugees emerge as a particularly valued form of other, capable of driving development in a way that fits ideally within the narrative of ?rust to reinvention?. As such, they become outside economic development agents, divorced from the challenges faced by struggling residents for decades. Resettlement actors navigate this conversation, recognising the challenges faced by refugees and other residents, while at the same time carrying forward prevailing narratives and frames. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Vahabzadeh Foundation for financially supporting the publication of best works by young researchers of the Graduate Institute, giving a priority to those who have been awarded academic prizes for their master?s dissertations. 606 $aDemography 606 $aUrban Studies 606 $aPlanning & Development 606 $aSocial Sciences, Interdisciplinary 606 $aSocial Work & Social Policy 606 $aCultural studies 606 $aculture religion and identity 606 $aidentity 606 $aIslam 606 $adevelopment policies and practices 606 $aeconomic development 606 $aimmigration 606 $amigration and refugees 606 $apublic discourse 606 $aurban development 606 $apost-industrial development 615 4$aDemography 615 4$aUrban Studies 615 4$aPlanning & Development 615 4$aSocial Sciences, Interdisciplinary 615 4$aSocial Work & Social Policy 615 4$aCultural studies 615 4$aculture religion and identity 615 4$aidentity 615 4$aIslam 615 4$adevelopment policies and practices 615 4$aeconomic development 615 4$aimmigration 615 4$amigration and refugees 615 4$apublic discourse 615 4$aurban development 615 4$apost-industrial development 700 $aMoslow$b Chiara$01370601 801 0$bFR-FrMaCLE 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910731414403321 996 $aWhere Goes the Neighbourhood$93398846 997 $aUNINA
