In the great challenge for integration, European cities are at the forefront. The foreign population in the cities is constantly increasing and today already exceeds 30% in Berlin, Vienna and London. Local administrations therefore play an increasingly important role in managing increasingly complex integration. Integrating foreigners in fact requires the commitment to coordinate policies that regard very different areas: first reception, education, the labor market, health services, combating segregation. This volume deals with the topic of growing urban diversity, trying to answer some crucial questions: what problems do cities face in facing the challenge of integration? How can successful experiences be enhanced? And how can dialogue between cities, regions, national governments and European institutions be improved? |
