Zelt-Stadt

Zelt-Stadt, meaning "Tent City" in German, typically refers to a temporary settlement composed of tents rather than permanent buildings. Such communities emerge in response to emergencies like natural disasters, refugee situations, or protests, providing immediate shelter and refuge. They are often characterized by their mobility, simplicity, and adaptability, allowing residents to cope with urgent needs. While they serve essential purposes during crises, Zelt-Stadt communities usually aim for eventual integration into more permanent infrastructure once circumstances improve.
