ARRIVAL CITIES

Programme 2014 - 2020 URBACT III

Date of latest update: 2025-01-21

Description

Description (EN):

Since the submission of the phase one application, the issues of migration and integration have moved significantly higher on the EU, national and local (city) levels. The tragic events in Paris, the state of emergency in Brussels, the ongoing arrival of migrants fleeing war and poverty and the attacks on women in several German and Swedish cities have brought to the fore the ongoing challenges facing cities in respect of managing the new flows as well as addressing the issue of integration.The most recent data underlines the scale of the policy challenge. In 2014, 40.1 % of the non-EU-born population in the EU was assessed to be at risk of poverty or social exclusion (AROPE) compared with less than 22.5 % of the native-born populationFor young people the situation is even bleaker. In 2013, 43.8 % of young people aged 16–29 in the EU-28 who were foreign-born were at risk of poverty and social exclusion compared with 28.1 % of young people who were native-born. In respect to new arrivals Europe has recorded in 2015 an unprecedented number of asylum seekers and refugees with over one million asylum applications; an estimated 350 000 to 450 000 people could be granted refugee or similar status, more than in any previous European refugee crisis since World War II.

Achievements (EN):

Arrival cities began its life in September 2015 at what was the height of migration flows witnessed in the EU since the Second World War. Arrival Cities also took place against a backcloth of rising discrimination and prejudice against immigrants as evidenced by the rise of populist parties across the EU. As a result one can observe a rapid change in the population structure and interactions between individuals and social groups in cities. Cities of migration are places of inclusion and exclusion. It is cities that have had to tackle the challenges (new and old) in circumstances that have been difficult owing to the on-going long tail of the economic crash of 2008 and the changing political landscape .Local authorities have had to try and support economic integration of migrants in difficult economic conditions where job growth has not been strong . Alongside this local authorities have also had to face issues such as the educational under achievement of secondand third-generation migrants; rise of racist and xenophobe movements; increasing diversification in the composition of immigration flows (e.g. migrants from either Member States and third countries; both skilled and unskilled migrants). The overall aim of the network was to bring about through a process of reflection, exchange of experience at transnational level and closer inter-sectoral working at local level, the development of Integrated Action Plans that would enable each partner to improve local actions to address this issue. To realize this overall aim the network undertook the following key actions: At the outset the partners identified some key cross cutting sub themes(Social cohesion;integration into the labour market; reception services; educational services and citizen participation ) that impacted on all partners and these formed the basis of transnational programme of exchange and learning that involved: Five transnational workshops each focused on one of the key sub themes; Capitalisation of the work undertaken in these workshop through the production of workshop reports with case studies ; The production and adoption of an agreed methodology to facilitate the peer review process undertake in the transnational workshops The production of discussion notes to stimulate discussion and debate at local level linked to the five sub themes. Each partner established at local level an Urbact Local Group (ULG). Each ULG had a composition that ensured both vertical (multi governance) and horizontal (multi sectoral and multi-disciplinary) integration. Each ULG undertook a series of activities: Members of the ULG met regularly and participated in the transnational workshops. The ULG undertook wider local consultation at local level Each ULG produced an Integrated Action Plan that secured political endorsement Each ULG ensured wide dissemination of the IAP at local level
