In a world where individuals are increasingly mobile, how people
originating from different cultures live together is one of the key
issues of the 21st century. There is a growing need for new
thinking on how diverse communities can live together in productive
harmony and not in parallel and separate lives. Policy is often
dominated by mitigating the perceived negative effects of diversity
(complexity, loss of cohesion, exploitation and racism) but little
thought has been given to how a diversity dividend or increased
innovative capacity might be achieved. The Intercultural City
analyzes the relationship of urban policy to policies on cultural
diversity, principally in the UK but also drawing upon original
research in North America, Europe and Australasia. It includes a
review of the literature in the field, and a critique of past and
current policy, before introducing new theoretical concepts. It
provides significant and practical advice for the reader, with new
insights and tools for practitioners including the "intercultural
lens," "indicators of openness" and "urban cultural literacy."
