European Cities and Refugees: A Laboratory for Affordable Housing and Urban Resilience to Future Crises
About
How have European cities managed to offer housing to the thousands of asylum-seekers who flocked to their gates beginning in 2015? In 2017, La Fabrique de la Cité launched a transnational, interdisciplinary research project on the resilience of European cities to the demographic shock that arose out of the arrival of asylum-seekers. The conclusions of this work are presented in a report which, by presenting insight into the solutions deployed in Berlin, Hamburg, Stockholm, Stuttgart, Munich, and Dresden, offers a practical guide for cities faced with similar challenges.
