The role of cities as first points of arrival, transit hubs and ultimate destinations is well established and widely acknowledged by institutions and stakeholders at national and European level. EUROCITIES drew attention to the issue of asylum and refugees long before the strong urban dimension became so evident in summer 2015. Our May 2015 statement on asylum details the role played by cities, the challenges they face, the solutions they can deliver, and their recommendations to national and EU institutions. This report forms part of our efforts to showcase the practical implications of the work that cities do in receiving and integrating refugees.
