In the city of Kozani there are about 41,000 people. The number of newcomers who can be integrated successfully depends on how much housing,schools,and jobs are available.If local authorities and community groups work together to support new residents,many of them can become part of the city’s social and economic life. In my opinion,Kozani could successfully integrate about 200 more people,because the city is not very big but still has enough space and opportunities for some new residents. -
The indoor gym in Lefkovrisi could be used as a temporary accommodation area for new residents in Kozani. It is a large and safe building that can offer protection and basic comfort for people who need a place to stay. With some changes, such as adding beds, heating, and sanitary facilities, the gym could host around 200 people until they find permanent housing. Using this space for accommodation would be a practical solution to help newcomers start their new life in Kozani. -
