This article introduces the research of MIASA’s IFG 7 project titled “Religious Diversity in Urban West Africa:
Exploring Modes of Coexistence for Sustainable Governance”. It conceptualises the methodological
approach of the group by identifying three main thematic axes that emerged from the overlapping
individual approaches to the study of religious diversity in urban centres, namely 1) migration, mobilities,
entrepreneurship, and trans-nationalism; (2) territoriality, power, and configurations of religious minorities
and majorities; and (3) urban infrastructure(s).
