topos 123 | climate migration

The topic of climate migration is omnipresent. It is about nothing less than saving our planet and thus our livelihoods. It is often forgotten that this basis of life has already been destroyed for millions of people. These people set out in search of a new future and often end up in the world's major cities. How are these cities dealing with the increasing number of climate refugees? Are there working concepts to develop new living spaces for these refugees in the already overcrowded big cities?
