In a world of increasing mobility, how people of different cultures
live together is a key issue of our age, especially for those
responsible for planning and running cities. New thinking is needed
on how diverse communities can cooperate in productive harmony
instead of leading parallel or antagonistic lives. Policy is often
dominated by mitigating the perceived negative effects of
diversity, and little thought is given to how a diversity dividend
or increased innovative capacity might be achieved. The
Intercultural City, based on numerous case studies worldwide,
analyses the links between urban change and cultural diversity. It
draws on original research in the US, Europe, Australasia and the
UK. It critiques past and current policy and introduces new
conceptual frameworks. It provides significant and practical advice
for readers, with new insights and tools for practitioners such as
the intercultural lens, indicators of openness, urban cultural
literacy and ten steps to an Intercultural City . Published with
Comedia.
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."

Written by experts in the growing field of forensic mental health
care, this book explores current and emerging interventions in
forensic nursing and the care of the mentally disordered offender,
with an emphasis on clinical practice and clinical competence. It
explores the practical issues facing forensic nurses, such as
environment and safety issues, as well as the possible emotional
trauma of such a role. It examines a range of intervention
strategies, such as exercise, which has often been used as an
occupational time-filler, but also offers real therapeutic
benefits. The contributors cover a range of diverse perspectives
from the care of women in secure services, severely assaultive
patients and sex offenders, the role of inpatient therapy and nurse
therapists and the importance of spiritual nursing and educational
interventions. The book also examines the client group itself and
considers new roles for nurses in the light of recent research. The
contributors to this volume take a wide-ranging approach, providing
a comprehensive overview of current and future therapeutic
interventions for forensic mental health care. Therapeutic
Interventions for Forensic Mental Health Nurses is essential
reading for all practitioners, nurses and educators in the forensic
nursing field.
