DESCRIPTION:Chinese post-migratory urban lives seem to be discussed merely
  from a sociological perspective in most current studies with the dynamics
  of urban public space seldom considered. My research explores the role of
  public space in the integration process by both expanding the concept of 
 integration and examining migrant uses and senses of place\, based on fiel
 dwork in a Chinese megacity. The evidence suggests that urban public space
  can promote integration in various ways\, and this presentation focuses o
 n how migrant uses of such space\, arguably linked to migrant citizenship\
 , is influenced by temporal factors\, alongside the interplay of migrants'
  financial burdens and institutional restrictions. One the other hand\, le
 ngthy residence in the host city may promote migrants' acculturation\, loc
 al socialisation and identity-building as 'insiders'\, which indicates mig
 rant integration's different dimensions can be connected through 'time'. R
 ecommendations oriented to migrant routine\, citizenship and cultural impl
 ications of urban public space are discussed at the end of the presentatio
 n.
