Free Global Cities

This book proposes a new solution to the migration crisis engulfing the world by creating safe harbours for displaced people and migrants, or "Free Global Cities." Even the most optimistic view of the future suggests that in the years ahead, more and more people will have to move in order to survive. The world requires places where refugees and other migrants forced to leave their homes will be given the opportunity to work, study, create, start businesses, and rebuild new lives for themselves and their families. "Free Global Cities" can deal with this growing global issue in a completely new way. They are autonomous, self-governed subnational entities that provide a safe environment and rule of law, creating wealth and prosperity for its residents as well as for the nations hosting them. Such a model would contribute significantly to handle the largest migration crisis in history, which the world will be experiencing in the coming decades.
