This book focuses on what this increasing population diversity means for how people and local health and welfare service providers seek to address everyday health concerns - from minor and chronic conditions to acute and urgent problems.

"This is a major methodological contribution to cross-national comparative social policy which addresses the relationship between universal services and complexly diverse needs across four European countries. It provides a highly original and sophisticated multiscalar analysis of the social relations of health care drawn from the experiences of service-users and practitioners in neighbourhoods characterised by their social, racial, ethnic, migrant and citizenship diversity. Through a critical engagement with the concepts of superdiversity and bricolage, the authors show how users and providers piece together ways of meeting health needs in different national and transnational contexts which constrain and occasionally enable them. Vital reading for students and researchers."

"Until now, superdiversity has been used as a concept for re-conceptualizing societies, developing theories of complexity, and re-tooling research methods. This book brings a much-needed approach in terms of superdiversity's meanings for public service provision and delivery. Based on solid empirical findings, it is a very welcome and timely contribution!"

"This volume is a welcome and groundbreaking addition to the scholarship on superdiversity in Europe. Offering the compelling concept of 'welfare bricolage' to illustrate the creative mobilisation, use, and re-use of resources, particularly as it relates to healthcare provision, it contributes exciting new insights on migration and superdiverse populations. It is a useful tool for understanding the implications of and for policy across a wide range of settings."
