This article provides an analysis of the co-development engagement of local authorities and migrant organisations from the city of Madrid. 'Co-development' has become a key notion that relates to the transnational involvement of migrants in development (cooperation). It is argued that co-development serves as transnational governance in which local authorities and migrant organisations collaborate and where links are established between integration, development and migration control and management. In order to analyse and understand these forms of engagement, the article combines an approach to the rescaling of governance with a transnational perspective on cities and migrants.
