Project description

This project examines the role local stakeholder play for crisis management and asks how their capacity to build urban resilience in relation to migrants’ rights can be strengthened. Key results will include insights into the way community organizations and local institutions in three different settings – Berlin, Copenhagen, and Tel-Aviv – responded to the Covid-19 health crisis. This will advance our understanding of urban citizenship regimes and how a shift from national ‘one-size-fits-all’ strategies to nuanced group-specific and spatially sensitive approaches in crisis management can be facilitated.
