Title first published in 2003. Much has been written about the
problems minorities encounter in Western European and North
American cities. This insightful volume acknowledges the
deep-rooted nature of inequalities and discrimination, but seeks
ways of ameliorating and eradicating them from positive stories of
minority involvement in regeneration.

The consideration of ethics in social research has gained
increasing prominence in the past few years, particularly research
which seeks to inform public policy. This important and unique book
provides a thorough examination of the issues relating to research
ethics in planning for an international audience. The authors
examine alternative frameworks within which ethical action can be
discussed and critically describe the key institutional
arrangements surrounding the management of ethical behaviour in
research. Also included are highly relevant accounts of ethical
challenges faced in planning research.
This book explores the issues of transformation phenomena of the
urban dimension (regionalization processes) that traditional
scientific literature fails to describe appropriately. So far,
scholars have adopted a widespread dominant perspective that proved
unable to grasp the essence of post-modern complexities that urban
spaces imply. The book provides a taxonomy, in order to describe
the rules of these new and peculiar cities, by using the living
dimension as a device for the epistemological breaking down of
traditional socio-spatial analyses. After a thorough theoretical
introduction, it describes two Sicilian case studies that prove
particularly relevant to the construction of a new, alternative
urban regionalization theory. These two areas, Palermo and
South-Eastern Sicily, are described through several aspects, such
as the role of migrants and migrations in defining urban
regionalization, the power of fiction and the new urban forms that
are slowly emerging in Sicily. Overall, this book provides a
refreshing view of what Sicily has been and is becoming, by
deconstructing most of its cliches and suggesting theoretical
perspectives grounded in both quantitative and qualitative
analyses.

This book draws a connection between ethics and research across
social sciences, philosophy, medical sciences and legal sciences,
and demonstrates that any research activity needs to be conducted
by means of rules deriving from the field of ethics. Although
having a common core, such rules assume different characteristics
depending on the branch of science, as the contributions on
philosophy, medicine, dentistry, law, biotechnology, robotics and
architecture highlight. It also investigates the more complex
ethical concerns and places them in a larger, technological
context. Starting with an introduction to common-sense ethical
principles, the contributions then guide the reader, helping them
develop and understand a comprehensive knowledge on the field.
Notably, it appeared interesting to analyze recent events related
to the arrival of the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic in light of ethical
principles, highlighting in what terms their applicability can
still be confirmed. Moreover, the book makes these topics
accessible to a non-expert audience, while also offering
alternative reading pathways to inspire more specialized readers.
