> Cities are becoming more diverse, because of increasing immigration,
> increasing diversity associated with this migration, different
> lifestyles within and between groups, spatial segregation in terms
> of ethnicity and socio-economic variables, leading to a diversity of
> opportunities for different groups. It is quite common in studies on
> urban diversity to have a clear focus on its negative consequences,
> such as intolerance and conflicts between groups. However, urban
> diversity can, under certain conditions, also contribute to strong
> positive developments in cities, such as increased social cohesion,
> enhanced economic performance and competitiveness, and greater
> social mobility for individuals and groups. Whether diversity has
> positive or negative effects depends to a large extent on policies
> and governance arrangements. In the words of the European Commission
> (2011, p. 34) cities have a key role to play in countering the
> negative effects and stimulating the positive effects to fully
> exploit the potential creativity and innovation that may stem from
> diversity.
>
> This session aims to bring together scholars from different parts of
> the world who are working on the effects of urban diversity and/or
> the governance of diversity. Papers may focus on one or more aspects
> of diversity (e.g., socio-economic, socio-demographic, ethnic and/or
> cultural diversities, but also diversity in lifestyles, attitudes
> and activities). The organisers themselves are members of an
> EU-funded FP7 project on urban diversity (named DIVERCITIES) that
> includes academics from 14 European universities.
>
> Potential topics and themes of interest might include, but are not
> limited to:
> • Papers that focus on the effect of diversity on social cohesion
> within neighbourhood and cities
> • Studies that examine the positive and negative effects of
> diversity on social mobility
> • Papers that examine under what conditions diversity does encourage
> and/or suppress local entrepreneurialism within cities
> • Studies that focus on the way in which diversity shapes the
> identities and qualities of life of urban residents
> • Studies that look into the role of urban policies in generating
> social and economic outcomes
> • Case studies on the success and fail factors of grassroots
> initiatives aimed at promoting positive aspects of diversity.
> • Papers that link policy discourses on diversity to the discussion
> on the ‘just city’ (Fainstein, 2010) and ‘just diversity’ (Fincher
> and Iveson, 2008).
> • Papers that look into the role of urban diversity in urban
> planning and spatial policy.
>
> The coordinators of workshop will take the initiative to organise a
> special issue for a scientific journal (provided that we receive a
> sufficient number of papers of good quality). Please send your
> abstracts to Gideon Bolt ([log in to unmask]) before October 31, 2013.
