Summary: This paper presents the case of Portuguese Hindu Gujarati families in Lisbon and in Leicester. It aims to corroborate the increasing importance of the urban referential in transnationality studies. Recent approaches in transntionality studies include the significance of cities for transmigrants under a variety of levels. One of them is social mobility. This paper focus specifically in motility, and it confirms, through ethnography, that beyond the classical national referential, the urban referential plays a central role for migration decisions. Cities confirm what transnationality scholars have been aware of: that migrants live and move between cities.

Il cherche à corroborer l'importance croissante du référentiel urbain dans les études transnationales. De récentes approches dans les études sur la transnationalité incluent l'importance des villes pour les transmigrants à plusieurs niveaux. L’un d’eux est celui de la mobilité sociale. Cet article est axé en particulier sur la motilité et confirme grâce à l'ethnographie que, au-delà du référant national classique, le référant urbain joue un rôle central dans la décision d’émigrer. Les villes confirment ainsi ce dont les experts en transnationalité se sont rendu compte : que les migrants vivent et se déplacent de ville en ville.Este artigo apresenta o caso das famílias hindus-gujaratis portuguesas em Lisboa e em Leicester.
