This document discusses the city of Utrecht's commitment to human rights for destitute immigrants living without shelter in the suburbs. It outlines the city's strategic approach which includes: [1] Providing structural shelter to uphold public order and safety as well as human rights commitments; [2] Providing shelter informally to reduce suffering and address needs on a case-by-case basis; [3] Working to legalize immigrants' status and reconnect them rather than leave them in illegality or on the street. The document also references international human rights treaties and directives that bind governments, and advocates forming alliances to establish jurisprudence supporting hidden agendas to shelter, feed and provide basic needs for undocumented migrants

#31c3 net neutrality: days of future past
Talk at 31st Chaos Communication Congress at Hamburg 2014.
see: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2014/Fahrplan/events/6170.html
Our talk will highlight the current debates surrounding net neutrality in Europe, the United States and other parts of the world. We will look at the results of the SaveTheInternet.eu campaign which was lunched a year ago on 30c3. We will discuss various legal protections for net neutrality, look closer at the experience of the Netherlands and we will give an overview of all important open ends of the debate.
Since two years net neutrality is on the agenda of politicians world wide. These are important debates, as net neutrality became one of the central questions about our freedom on the internet. With different faces around the globe we see a trend towards more violations of the neutrality principle which the internet was founded upon. The efforts of telecommunication companies to find new ways to monetize their networks and us users within them are countered in some countries with legislation preventing this new business models.
In 2010, after two years of preparation and a fierce battle, the Dutch
parliament accepted a change to the Telecommunications Act which made net neutrality a principle that was protected by law. In this talk we will take stock after two years of legal protection of net neutrality in The Netherlands. Did it work and do the Dutch now have undiscriminated access to all services on the internet? Has the doomsday scenario of the providers, that subscriptions would become outrageously expensive, become reality? In which cases was the Dutch law enforced?
Are there any loopholes in the Dutch implementation? If others are to
fight for net neutrality, what are the pitfalls to avoid? And, on a more
meta-level, is it enough? Will net neutrality protect your freedom to
access websites and services, or do we need a broader type neutrality?

Local Undocumented Migration Policy in the Municipality of Utrecht
The document discusses the local undocumented migration policy of Utrecht, Netherlands. It outlines the basic legal principles that guide the policy, including obligations to provide shelter to vulnerable undocumented migrants based on human rights treaties and court rulings. The policy aims to prevent homelessness and illegal stay through support centers that provide coaching to help migrants obtain residence permits or reconnect to their home countries. Evaluation of the programs found better results than national policies, with many migrants gaining perspectives and reduced rough sleeping and criminal offenses.
Master_Thesis_Zuzana_Pavlickova
This thesis examines access to justice for Roma EU citizens facing discrimination that undermines their free movement rights. It analyzes the legal framework protecting Roma from discrimination under EU law, including the Charter of Fundamental Rights, EU citizenship provisions, anti-discrimination directives, and free movement rights. It then assesses available means of judicial protection at the EU level, such as preliminary rulings, infringement procedures, and the role of equality bodies. The thesis uses the 2010 French expulsions of Roma as a case study to demonstrate challenges and advantages of existing enforcement mechanisms. The main hypothesis is that discrimination of Roma by Member States jeopardizes their free movement, though restrictions may formally comply with EU law, their discriminatory application
Rotterdam
This document discusses the impact of EU legislation on affordable housing in Rotterdam. It describes how EU state aid rules only allow subsidies for housing for socially disadvantaged households, limiting Dutch housing associations. A program in Rotterdam called NPRZ aims to renovate housing and stop segregation in the low-income south bank area. Research showed the biggest affordability problems were for families with two parents and two kids or singles under 65. The document calls for more flexible SGEI rules set by cities and removing the requirement to only help disadvantaged households.
Leipzig
The city of Leipzig had a vacancy rate over 20% 10-15 years ago but now faces challenges providing affordable housing due to rising rents and population growth. Leipzig developed housing policy guidelines to ensure housing for all incomes by maintaining and creating affordable units, supporting families, the elderly, disabled, and low-income households. The guidelines are implemented through city planning, real estate policies, social housing, counseling, district development, legislation, and cooperation. Continued funding for new social housing construction and rent subsidies are needed to maintain housing availability and social cohesion as Leipzig's population increases.
Vienna
Vienna has a population of 1.8 million people, with around 900,000 living in public or subsidized housing. The city's population is forecasted to continue growing. Vienna has two main types of social housing: public flats owned and maintained by the city, and subsidized housing construction that builds around 7,000 dwellings per year on average. Ensuring adequate social housing is an ongoing challenge due to factors like population growth, refugees, economic crises, and more people living alone. Initiatives include continuing to construct 7,000 subsidized flats per year and 4,000 public flats over the next 4 years, as well as maintaining wide eligibility criteria to promote social diversity.
Barcelona
The document summarizes housing policies and programs in Barcelona, Spain. It provides statistics on housing demand, including over 53,000 applicants for subsidized housing and 1,000 homeless individuals. It also details the city's public housing stock, which makes up only 2% of the total housing, and efforts to increase the social housing stock through new construction, empty home acquisition, and rehabilitation. The city aims to advance the conception of housing as a citizen right through these measures and ensuring availability of affordable public and private housing options.
Report on barcelona roundtable on city responses to irregular migrants
Municipal authorities from 11 cities in 8 European countries met in Barcelona to discuss challenges of providing services to irregular migrants. Key issues discussed included implications of exclusion from services, legal challenges, cooperation with NGOs, and need for further evidence sharing. Cities agreed to establish a working group under Eurocities to build evidence on impacts of exclusion/inclusion, share promising practices, and mainstream irregular migrants in EU policy. The group would seek funding and agree on outputs to raise awareness of challenges cities face and help address them.
Genoa mentoring Riga
This document outlines Riga, Latvia's efforts to integrate migrant communities as part of a mentoring partnership with Genoa, Italy from 2012-2014. Key points include:
- Riga developed an action plan after meetings with city departments, NGOs, and migrant groups to address challenges like lack of resources and negative public perceptions of migration.
- Actions included updating the city development plan to include diversity, promoting Riga as welcoming to migrants, and establishing an NGO house to support collaboration.
- Genoa shared its experiences in areas like strong political commitment, high visibility of diversity, and project competitions for integration promotion to help Riga strengthen its approach.
Agenda roma integration
This document provides an agenda for a conference on East-West cooperation for Roma inclusion between cities. The conference will include presentations on implementing the EU Roma Framework at the local level, as well as panels on pilot projects focused on employment, education, and awareness raising. There will be opportunities for networking and discussion on partnerships. The goal is to support the objectives of the EU in promoting Roma inclusion through sharing best practices and experiences across cities in employment, education, and social policies.
Table eurobarometer
This document contains data on the integration of foreigners living in various European cities from 2009 to 2012. It includes statistics on the percentage of foreigners who felt integrated in 2009 and 2012, the difference in those percentages between the two years, and total positive integration scores in 2009 and 2012 as well as the difference between those scores. For each city listed, it provides this data as well as an overall evolution in integration from 2009 to 2012.
David zabiega Govanhill Community Development Trust
Govanhill is a diverse neighborhood in Glasgow with high population density and deprivation. It has experienced waves of migration including Irish, Jewish, Italian, South Asian, and more recently Eastern European migrants like Slovakian and Romanian Roma people. This has led to overcrowding, environmental issues, and some community tensions. However, Govanhill has also formed partnerships to address challenges like education, employment, health, housing and racism through local voluntary organizations and government programs. The future aims to continue supporting partnership efforts and responding to local needs through sustainable initiatives and European funding opportunities.
SHARE Network
The SHARE Project is a European resettlement network for cities and regions that aims to build capacity for refugee resettlement. It has over 1300 members from 17 European countries including cities, NGOs, international organizations, and national governments. The network facilitates practice exchanges and has a goal of European countries offering 20,000 resettlement places by 2020. Member cities and regions participate in exchange visits to learn from each other's resettlement programs and best practices.
Speech mayor
1) Tampere hosted an EU Summit in 1999 that set out future immigration policies for the European Union, and is now hosting the Eurocities conference 14 years later to assess developments in immigration since then.
2) Tampere has a history of internationality dating back to its founding in 1779 by King Gustav III of Sweden, and much of its early industrial growth was fueled by immigrant entrepreneurs.
3) While Tampere's immigrant population is currently small compared to other European cities, immigration has accounted for about half of its annual population growth in recent years.
Imple mentoring findings
1. ImpleMentoring is an EU-funded project led by EUROCITIES that provides city-to-city support for migrant integration through tailored mentoring schemes.
2. The project aims to help cities address gaps in migrant integration policies and practices by matching them with mentor cities to work on specific integration challenges.
3. Preliminary findings show the mentoring model is effective in fostering collaboration between cities and catalyzing policy changes, though resources are limited and preparation time could be expanded.
Charter reporting sanahuja final
The Integrating Cities Charter was launched in 2010 and has 27 signatory cities committed to promoting diversity and non-discrimination. A 2013 monitoring survey of 23 cities found that signatories are taking a comprehensive approach to migrant integration with priorities like anti-discrimination, education, and language acquisition. Cities see themselves as policy makers who communicate equal opportunities; service providers who ensure equal access to services; employers who reflect diversity in hiring and promote fair treatment; and buyers who apply equality principles in procurement. The charter is used to inspire policies, build capacity, and showcase integration efforts.
Tampere martiniello
This document discusses challenges and opportunities for multiculturalism in European cities. It notes two contradictory trends: socio-ethnic polarization and fragmentation versus neo-cosmopolitan exchange and interculturalism. The author argues that cities should work to invent a multicultural citizenship by embracing diversity, promoting cohesion, and ensuring equal rights and participation for all residents regardless of background. Specific policy issues that could support these goals include recognizing diversity, funding community projects, promoting the arts, addressing segregation, enabling local citizenship and conflict resolution.

The charter is used to inspire policies, build capacity, and showcase integration efforts.

This document discusses challenges and opportunities for multiculturalism in European cities. It notes two contradictory trends: socio-ethnic polarization and fragmentation versus neo-cosmopolitan exchange and interculturalism. The author argues that cities should work to invent a multicultural citizenship by embracing diversity, promoting cohesion, and ensuring equal rights and participation for all residents regardless of background. Specific policy issues that could support these goals include recognizing diversity, funding community projects, promoting the arts, addressing segregation, enabling local citizenship and conflict resolution.
Imple m workshops sept13 project intro
The ImpleMentoring project is a partnership between 12 European cities and MigrationWork CIC that aims to support cities in implementing the principles of the EUROCITIES Integrating Cities Charter. The project promotes mutual learning between cities in four areas of integration such as enhancing public perception of diversity and participation in local policy-making. Cities take the role of either an implementing city that works to improve its practices in an area, or a mentor city that provides support to an implementing city to identify changes needed and develop a roadmap to achieve these changes. Output from the project includes benchmarks on best practices in each integration area and toolkits to share these benchmarks across Europe.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
