The recent wave of flight and migration has posed immense challenges for German cities and municipalities. The newcomers need to be adequately cared for, provided for, and housed. However, in many places, provisional emergency accommodations such as lightweight construction halls and container villages dominate the landscape. The reactions of the population to the refugees and the associated societal tasks range on a continuum between a lived welcome culture and the concern that Germany is not up to this challenge. As issues like housing conditions and the integration of refugees come into sharper public focus, the question of how to address this situation not only socially and politically but also through architecture and urban planning becomes increasingly urgent. Based on qualitative expert interviews, Franziska investigates this topic.
