Forecasted European Cities with Maximum Vulnerability in 2025
In the year 2025, the distribution of foreigners across European cities varies significantly. Western European cities, with their large populations and economic activities, are projected to have the highest exposure rates.
London, Paris, and Milan are expected to lead the way, with levels of exposure at 46.2%, 46.2%, and 22.1% respectively. Frankfurt, known for its financial hub, follows closely with a level of exposure of 51.8%.
On the other hand, Eastern European cities generally have lower levels of foreigners. For instance, Budapest, the capital of Hungary, has the lowest figure in central Europe, with a 7.2% share of migrants. Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, also has a relatively low level of foreigners at 3.5%.
Among the Scandinavian capitals, Oslo leads with a 25.2% share of migrants. Vienna, the capital of Austria, has a 31.3% share, while among the cities in Eastern Europe, Moscow has a lower level of foreigners, with 9.1% of its population being foreigners.
Moscow's Eastern European counterparts, Minsk and Bucharest, have even lower levels of foreigners. Minsk, the capital of Belarus, has a foreigner population of just 0.5%, while Bucharest, the capital of Romania, has 2.7% foreigners.
Brussels, the capital of the European Union, stands out as the city with the highest impact in 2025, with a level of exposure at 74.3%.
In the south of Europe, the share of migrants is at 40%. However, the specific cities and their levels of exposure are not provided in this article.
It's important to note that the reasons for the low levels of foreigners in Eastern European cities are not discussed in this article. Similarly, future trends of foreigner levels in these cities are not addressed.
Lastly, it's worth mentioning that the quote "Whoever saves everyone through the gates, soon or later loses his key - and changes the lock" is a saying and not a fact.
In summary, the distribution of foreigners in European cities in 2025 shows a clear divide between Western and Eastern European cities. While Western cities are expected to have higher levels of foreigners, Eastern European cities generally have lower levels. Brussels stands out as the city with the highest impact, while Budapest has the lowest figure in central Europe.
