We organize this relational analytical conversation around three themes: experiential to highlight the precarious relationship of the two groups to citizenship and place, what we call a state of “citizenship in wait” and “in-situ displacement”; institutional to highlight the humanitarian matrices of care that provide governmental structures in both contexts; and micropolitical, to characterize dwellers’ contestations with state and humanitarian governance that constitute the processes of life-making in informal settlements, much as in the camps. Bringing to light the comparable spatial practices and governance among the so-called citizens and the so-called stateless, we seek to lend a forceful voice to the mounting opposition to the state-centered politics of citizenship that pit refugees against the poor, and to gesture toward forging solidarities for a humane urbanism.</span><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: auto;text-align:start;widows: auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'> </span><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: auto;text-align:start;widows: auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>If you have any questions or require any further information, please do not hesitate to write.</span><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: auto;text-align:start;widows: auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'> </span><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: auto;text-align:start;widows: auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>Sincerely,</span><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: auto;text-align:start;widows: auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>Ana Æukoviæ</span><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: auto;text-align:start;widows: auto;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>Coordinator for Europe-Asia Research Platform on Forced Migration at University of Vienna</span><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
