Introduction to 4 case cities

The research project "Role of Small Cities" examines the way small cities shape the employment outcomes of migrant youth in India and Indonesia—the two largest democracies in the developing world. As both countries hope to leverage their demographic dividends by employing young people in productive jobs, their small cities lie on the front lines of development challenges surrounding urbanization, migration and work. This short clip based on Amit Mahanti's documentary film "Small City Dreaming" introduces you to the 4 cities in India and Indonesia (Mangalore, Kishangarh, Kupang, and Semarang) that were part of this project.
