The massive influx of migrants to European cities from Syria and beyond, since 2015, has demanded a rethink of how to accommodate refugees. Germany is a case in point: to avoid ghettoisation and aid social cohesion, efforts are being made to integrate newcomers with long‐term residents in urban neighbourhoods through specially built, mixed‐use schemes. Kaja Kuühl , a practising urban designer and adjunct professor at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, Columbia University, New York, and Julie Behrens , who directs the affordable housing consultancy Project Urbanista, showcase several such projects.
