50 STATIST INDIVIDUALISM- A new Swedish religion?

51

52 Right now there is lots of talk about refugees, and so much talk about the cost of immigration. Too often, migrants end up in our suburbs, not integrated. Sweden is a very segregated country with too much distance between us and them. Instead, we should see the values which come with them their social skills and the human value of their lifestyles as something that could really help us from the tendency to detachment.

55 Uppgivenhetssyndrom Is it telling us something about the nature of asylum, or something about the nature of Sweden?

56 We are living in an interregnum. The old system and rules are discredited but the new order is yet to emerge. Zygmunt Bauman

57 Social justice & redistribution! Reverse inequality! Defend human rights! Create more rights! The Left critique of Neoliberalism Family, community, nation! Belonging, identity, roots! Duty and civility! Respect the past! The Right critique of Neoliberalism

58 Swedes feel like their society is being torn apart by a clash of incompatible ideologies

59 Searching for a new form of

60 Too much exclusive solidarity Too little inclusive solidarity

61 How can we build new inclusive forms of solidarity out of multiple and mobile identities within a human rights context?

62 Solidarity Inclusion is a feeling of belonging. That is if you feel like a Copenhagener, you are included in the city. Anna Mee Allerslev 62

63 The city gives us unity and identity in a complex divisive world 63

64 Where do universal human rights begin? Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal rights without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have In small places, close to home. They are the world of the individual; the neighbourhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Eleanor Roosevelt little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.

65

66 QUESTIONS What keeps a liberal democracy together? What happens when the moral operating system is put under pressure? What happens when a Trump or Orban works on people's emotions and fears? What happens when the local virtues are challenged by universalist values like human rights?

67 THE ORDINARY VIRTUES The virtues of ordinary people Trust, generosity, tolerance, forgiveness, resilience. Preference for the local over the universal, citizen over stranger, community over cosmopolitan, the we over the other. The moral operating system that keeps the show on the road

68

69

70 Universal Human Rights have made a better world, but cannot make better communities Don t preach at people about their obligation to absorb strangers Appeal to their Ordinary Virtues of Hospitality

71

72 Intercultural Cities offers an alternative to this impasse

73 REGIONAL & LOCAL NATIONAL SUPRANATIONAL

74 A NEW ALIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES National authorities Maintain comprehensive systems of social justice Supranational authorities protect universal human rights and manage global migrant flows Municipal authorities Provide an alternative political space of solidarity and citizenship Communities Offer humanity, hospitality and groundedness

75 What does citizenship mean in a globalized world?

76 Who belongs in the city?

77 Who has presence in the city?

78 Who owns the city but is not present?

79

80 Who belongs in the city?

81 Who has a right to the city?

82 THE RIGHT TO THE CITY IN SEARCH OF URBAN CITIZENSHIP

83 The right to urban citizenship

84

85

86

87 The city can be the place where universal values & the ordinary virtues become as one. 87

88 Key issues Support refugees closer to source Rights & justice A new solidarity built on diversity Welcoming Spaces of interaction Let them work Let them create work New alignment of state responsibilities Urban citizenship
