Download or read book Planning and Diversity in the City written by Ruth Fincher and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-08-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planning theory and practice has become more conscious in recent times of the need to cater for a diverse range of needs and preferences. But there has been less clarity about what goals and objectives should inform planning for such diversity. In this important new book Ruth Fincher and Kurt Iveson identify three distinct working principles of planning for diversity: redistribution, recognition and encounter. Each principle is the subject of a pair of chapters. The first explaining the principle and the second showcasing and comparing efforts to shape cities according to it, drawing on relevant examples from around the world. Planning for Diversity is the ideal introduction to the issues that surround diversity and planning and provides a stimulating new line of advance for reducing inequality and working towards 'just diversity' in cities. Ruth Fincher is Professor of Geography at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Kurt Iveson is Lecturer in Urban Geography at the University of Sydney, Australia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities today are more diverse than ever before - economically, socially, culturally, ethnically and in terms of people's identities and lifestyles. Highly diversified communities can be a source of new opportunities for socio-economic development, social mobility and advanced living standards for citizens and cities around the world. However, they can also create social and economic tensions that result in increasing poverty, inequality, segregation, exclusion, social polarization, and insecurity. In fact, social cohesion and inclusion challenges are more intense and visible in cities than any other type of locality. How can cities integrate diversity and enhance social cohesion among citizens? Can urban managers develop successful policies to combat poverty, inequality and social exclusion, while promoting social mobility and economic development? Can social, economic and physical diversity in cities be a source of creativity, innovation, inclusiveness, economic development and well-being? This volume is part of a book series called "IESE Cities in Motion: International Urban Best Practices." Cities and Social Cohesion focuses on the challenge of planning and creating more inclusive urban areas and provides: - a review of the main trends and challenges of social cohesion in cities - a compilation of international best practices on urban inclusion and more equitable urban development - a resource and tool that can help city administrators and policymakers in their endeavor to develop policies, initiatives, and strategies to identify sustainable solutions to address the complex challenges of social cohesion in urban areas.
Download or read book Creative Cities and Regions written by Pierre Desrochers and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their recent discussion of the Richard Florida and Jane Jacobs-inspired creative cities policy literature, Hospers and Pen argue that despite increasingly more effective space shrinking technologies, cities remain among the most suitable locations for creative activities of all types. This paper supplements their contribution by documenting more concretely how economically diversified cities provide a fertile environment for the discovery and development of new technological combinations. In doing so, we try to illustrate how a better understanding of the linkages between creativity and urban agglomeration would benefit from a multidisciplinary approach that studies both phenomena simultaneously.
Download or read book Urban Diversity written by Caroline Kihato and published by Woodrow Wilson Center Press. This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world’s urban populations grow, cities become spaces where increasingly diverse peoples negotiate such differences as language, citizenship, ethnicity and race, class and wealth, and gender. Using a comparative framework, Urban Diversity examines the multiple meanings of inclusion and exclusion in fast-changing urban contexts. The contributors identify specific areas of contestation, including public spaces and facilities, governmental structures, civil society institutions, cultural organizations, and cyberspace. The contributors also explore the socioeconomic and cultural mechanisms that can encourage inclusive pluralism in the world’s cities, seeking approaches that view diversity as an asset rather than a threat. Exploring old and new public spaces, practices of marginalized urban dwellers, and actions of the state, the contributors to Urban Diversity assess the formation and reformation of processes of inclusion, whether through deliberate actions intended to rejuvenate democratic political institutions or the spontaneous reactions of city residents.

Book excerpt: "Demographic change and a growing sensitivity to the diversity of urban communities have increasingly led planners to recognize the necessity of planning for diversity. Edited by Michael A. Burayidi, Cities and the Politics of Difference offers a guide for making diversity a cornerstone of planning practice. The essays in this collection cover the practical and theoretical issues that surround this transformation, discussing ways of planning for inclusive and multicultural cities, enhancing the cultural competence of planners, and expanding the boundaries of planning for multiculturalism to include dimensions of diversity other than ethnicity and religion--including sexual and gender minorities and Indigenous communities. The advice of the contributors on how planners should integrate considerations of diversity in all its forms and guises into practice and theory will be valuable to scholars and practitioners at all levels of government."--

Book excerpt: We evaluate the economic significance of linguistic barriers to communication in 226 US cities from 1980 to 2000 to test for the 'paradox of diversity', namely, whether knowledge exchange is inhibited by linguistic barriers to communication across social groups. We find: one, linguistic and cultural diversity increases the average income of the working age population; and two, the higher is the proportion of the foreign-born population in a city not fluent in English, the smaller is the economic benefit of diversity. The results provide valuable insights as to how the economic benefits of diversity can enhance wealth within cities.
