  16. Key Challenges

  17. Re-applicable Tools

  18. Sustainability? Identified Threats • Crime and fear as a consequence of the drug business • Passivity of police partially due to restricted budget – no or low police presence in the localities; excuses like „we are monitoring situation, we are waiting for a big fish“ • No newcomers due to negative reputation of the excluded areas • Property devastation – no further investments = „no future“ • Budget cuts in state social support – increasing debts leading to evictions

  19. Ongoing Partnership – Condition of Success
