Refugee Cities

Refugee Cities is a California-based NGO promoting special-status settlements for refugees and their communities. Our international team includes top policy, legal, and economic experts on both SEZs and forced migration drawn from consulting firms and academia. ---------- Our Project ----------- Utilizing best practices of special economic zones (SEZs) from around the world, a refugee city would be a special-status migrant community allowing displaced people to find legal employment and operate their own businesses. A refugee city would be a designated area within a host country with reliable infrastructure, private-sector financing, and a streamlined administrative system. Its legal and institutional framework seeks to: • optimize a city’s business environment • expand residents’ opportunities • improve host countries’ economies Simply put, a refugee city would unleash the potential of displaced people for the benefit of all.
