This article addresses the local dimensions of migration in a bid to show why local authorities have a new- found and crucial role in managing migration and how a migration-for-development agenda can bring added value in such a way that it fosters development. The article argues that local authorities are able to set migration in a new and positive light since they are not burdened, for example, by national policies and interests regarding border control, return and readmission.
