城市民族的多样化——以少数民族人口迁移对城市的影响为例

The Urban Multi-Ethnicity——The Influences of Minority Migrants on the Cities

民族的历史和城市的历史一样源远流长。1980年以来,中国城市里的流动和常住少数民族人口约有900万左右,已形成了成百上千大大小小的居住群落,城市民族形成多样化格局。城市中少数民族迁移者并不只是被动地适应城市,他们在就业和创业过程中也给城市做出了巨大的贡献。他们也是城市建设和发展不可缺少的生力军。

The history of ethnic groups, like that of the cities, goes back to ancient times. Since 1980, drifting and permanent resident population of the ethnic groups in cities of China has amounted to about nine million so as to form a variety of small or big communities, hence the urban multi-ethnicity. The urban minority migrants do not adapt passively to city life. On the contrary, they have contributed greatly to the city in their course of seeking employment and starting business. Moreover, they have become the new force in city construction and development.
