Cultural diversity - the multitude of different lifestyles that are
not necessarily based on ethnic culture - is a catchphrase
increasingly used in place of multiculturalism and in conjunction
with globalization. Even though it is often used as a slogan it
does capture a widespread phenomenon that cities must contend with
in dealing with their increasingly diverse populations. The
contributors examine how Russian cities are responding and through
case studies from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, and Sochi
explore the ways in which different cultures are inscribed into
urban spaces, when and where they are present in public space, and
where and how they carve out their private spaces. Through its
unique exploration of the Russian example, this volume addresses
the implications of the fragmented urban landscape on cultural
practices and discourses, ethnicity, lifestyles and subcultures,
and economic practices, and in doing so provides important insights
applicable to a global context.
