Description

Emily Talen explores the linkage between urban forms and social diversity, and how the one impacts on the other. Learning the lessons from past successes and failures, and building from detailed case studies of different neighbourhoods, she sets out design strategies and tools to ensure that urban planning sustains and nurtures social diversity.

As cities all over the world come to terms with the fact that they need to be diverse to be sustainable and successful, Designfor Diversity is a timely lesson on the crucial relationship between how a city is designed and built and the how the people of that city will live together. It explores the link between urban form and social diversity. It is based on detailed studies of social diverse neighbourhoods in cities. It outlines urban design strategies to support diverse communities.
