On Thursday 26 May 2022, the Strong Cities Network (SCN) launched the first in a four-part webinar series on one of the most pressing urban issues of our time: city-level responses to refugee flows. The series explores different city-level responses across the refugee response cycle, bringing together officials and non-government actors from across the world to share their experiences. In the first of these webinars, we examine the short-term responses of local governments when faced with large-scale population movements.
