Město Most - laboratoř přešlapů v sociálním začleňování
The City of Most − a laboratory for failings in social inclusion

Summary/Abstract: Most is one of a number of Czech cities particularly affected by social exclusion. Over the last 20 years or so, the number of socially excluded districts in the city has increased to six, with a combined population of over 5,000 persons. The increase is due principally to the immigration of poor people to the city, the numbers of whom increased significantly following the completion of the privatisation of the city's public housing stock. In order to successfully address the high level of social exclusion in the city, the local authority will have to start purchasing and managing apartments while, at the same time, adopting a more ambitious inclusion plan, including the expansion of the provision of social and debt counselling services. It must also be provided with adequate support from the government, which has, to date, failed to adequately support cities with high levels of social exclusion.
