Resilient municipalities in the context of migration, integration and participation
The coronavirus pandemic was followed by Russia's attack on Ukraine, and since then almost 1.2 million people have arrived in Germany from Ukraine - in addition to those who have migrated via the regular asylum system. At the same time, personnel and financial bottlenecks in local authorities are becoming more apparent: problems such as a lack of housing or insufficient childcare are putting local administrations under pressure. How can municipalities develop resilience in the face of these multiple challenges? Between May 2023 and March 2024, DeZIM explored this question together with 11 municipalities, highlighting best practice and making recommendations for action in the report. (German only)
