Metropole
Metropole
A metropole is a major city in a former colonial power that attracts migrants from former colonies.
Examples from this unit include:
- London for migrants from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh
- Paris for migrants from Algeria, Vietnam, and West Africa
Note
metropole = 宗主国大城市 / 殖民母国核心城市
Migration to the metropole shows that economic and cultural ties often remained strong even after political independence.
